Yahoo: "The U.S. government has intervened to support the stock market so many times that 'what apparently started as a stopgap measure may have morphed into a serious moral hazard situation, with market manipulation an endemic feature of the U.S. stock market'."
Here is the report.
So there is no such thing as a free market of goods, nor a free market of stocks. In a political system in which corporations have infiltrated the government and administration and even pay for the president they want, it is clear the manipulations are in favour of those corporations, at the expense of the taxpayer.
The freedom they are talking about is the freedom of corporations to do whatever they please.

BBC: "Iran has offered to send 20m barrels of crude oil to the US to help with the consequences of Hurricane Katrina.

AlertNet: "Transport and other logistics problems are holding up some of the mass of humanitarian aid European countries have offered to the victims of hurricane Katrina, an EU official said on Tuesday.
A Swedish plane laden with aid was waiting to take off but had not got U.S. approval to enter the United States.
High-speed pumps offered by Germany had arrived but Helfferich said unspecified 'coordination problems' in the United States had prevented them from being deployed so far."
AlterNet: "The military reprimands two Navy pilots for rescuing more than 100 survivors from New Orleans last Tuesday. Returning from an assigned trip to deliver emergency supplies to a federal center, the men responded to a radio transmission from the Coast Guard asking for help."
