 Rove's Leak Points to Bush Conspiracy
   by  Robert Parry from  consortiumnews.com

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 A key national security principle for dealing with top-secret information, such as the identity
 of undercover CIA officers, is strict compartmentalization, often called "the need to know"
 - which raises the question why Karl Rove would know anything about Valerie Plame.

 The answer to that mystery - why was Rove involved - may be more crucial to unraveling
 who was behind the illegal leaking of Plame's name and the subsequent cover-up than even
 the identity of which Bush officials passed the information to right-wing pundit Robert Novak
 for his infamous column on July 14, 2003.

 But rather than focusing on how and why Rove knew about Plame, the latest controversy
 around the case has centered on whether Rove explicitly used her name in an interview with
 Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper three days before Novak's column.

 Rove's lawyer Robert Luskin told the Washington Post that his client didn't identify Plame
 by name, only mentioning her in giving Cooper guidance about who was responsible for
 authorizing a fact-finding trip by Plame's husband, Joe Wilson, to Niger in February 2002.

 Subject: Fantastic 4 Review

 BC,

 I saw Fantastic 4, it was good.  It reminded me very much of Superman I
 (the one that introduced Christopher Reeve) in its manner and story line.
 It doesn't stray much from the original Fantastic 4 storyline, has more than
 adequate performances from a well balanced cast, and the special effects
(while not awe inspiring) are well done.

 Although Fantastic 4 is not a great movie, it doesn't have a real weakness either.
 It's perfect sci fi summer fair.

 Dennis
 

 Thanks, Dude, I've heard the same thing.
 After Batman, WotW and Sith Hits the Fan, they say people wanted
 a "regular" movie that wasn't full of brooding darkness and a heavy message.

 George and Tony Get their al-Qaeda Fix
    by Greg Palast

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 The tooth fairy, Santa Clause, WorldCom profits, the Easter Bunny, al-Qaeda.

 The cruel, evil jerks who blew up the London subway last week, despite appropriating
 al-Qaeda's name for their website and T-shirts, have about as much to do with al-Qaeda
 as a Beatles tribute band has to do with the Fab Four.

 For all the horror, hoopla and hair-pulling, this was no September 11. Timmy McVeigh
 slaughtered a heck of a lot more people in Oklahoma City with his cow-poop bomb.

 I'm not belittling the heartbreaking hideousness of this crime, but let's get the facts straight.
 If al-Qaeda is the Panzer Division of terrorism, these London bombers were terrorism's Cub Scouts.
 We're talking a few pounds of nitro wired to a clock -- a design badly copied off the Internet.

 A witness watched some Arabic-looking teenager nervously checking his bag on a bus which,
 London's un-hysterical police now believe, he accidentally triggered, blowing apart himself
 and a bunch of unlucky commuters.

 I'm no Vegas expert, but we've stayed at The Mirage 3-4 times for like $89.
 And in the summer, when the Vegas temps reach 115 degrees on a "Not too-hot-today"
 kind of day, the Mirage is willing to rent me a room for as little as $250 a night?
 
 ..and if we lock ourselves into the $750, they're willing to drop it to $200 the last night?

 Were we invaded?
 Did we lose a war?
 (That was a good joke three years ago...)

 Who can explain why an $89 room is now $250?    ...in August?

 Quotes

"The outing of Valerie was a signal to others that, should they step forward,
  the White House would do to their families what they did to mine. I have also
  had a number of journalists share with me their own experiences of being
  intimidated by senior officials in the White House. We should not be surprised
  that a climate of fear prevails in Washington."
      --Joseph Wilson,  Attribution
 

 Why can't the gutless whores of the press realize that being threatened by the
 White House is a damn interesting story that would sell lots of newspapers?

 White House: "No comment" on Rove's Leaks

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Bush has said he would fire anyone found to have leaked Plame's name. An e-mail by Cooper
 says Rove identified the woman as someone who apparently works at the CIA and that she
 authorized a trip to Africa for her husband, Joe Wilson. Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, says
 Rove did not disclose Plame's name to the Time magazine reporter.

"The fact that he didn't give her name, but identified the ambassador's wife ÷ doesn't take a
 rocket scientist to figure out who that is," said Joe Biden, normally Bush's staunchest defender
"If that occurred, at a minimum, that was incredibly bad judgment, warranting him being asked to leave."
 

 It was such a strange experience watching CNN Monday and Tuesday.
 They acted like a cable news network for the first time in almost a decade.

 How strange it was to see hundreds of people all on their first days on the job.
 None of them have any experience at reporting hard news, so we have to watch
 them struggle as they learn their jobs right on the air.

 Subject: Bush lied to cover for Rove

 For the last two years, the Bush White House claimed that Karl Rove had nothing to do
 with the leak of the female CIA officer's identity. Bush said that whoever leaked it would be fired.

 We now know Bush was lying because Bush knew all along Rove was involved but concealed it.
 Now a reporter sits in jail because Bush lied. What kind of a country do we live in where the
 people who tell the truth go to jail and the ones who lie go free?

 Press Batters McClellan on Rove Lies
  After six years, have they finally come to work?

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 At numerous press briefings last week, not a single reporter asked Scott the Liar about
 emerging allegations that Karl Rove was the source, for Matt Cooper in the Plame case.
 Then on Sunday, Newsweek revealed a Cooper e-mail from July 2003 that showed that
 Rove indeed had talked to him about Plame and her CIA employment, although he
 apparently did not mention that she worked under cover.

 This development apparently freed the journalists to hit McClellan hard at Monday's briefing.
 In 2003, McClellan had rejected as "ridiculous" any suggestion that Rove was involved in the
 Plame leak. Today, Rove didn't quite get off "Scott free."
 

 Tuesday's battering was even more fun.
 Scott the Liar couldn't speak because he was caught in the tractor's nuts.

 Remember, when Clinton lied, nobody died.

 Pentagon confirms Iran-Contra figure in senior job
  Bush hires crooks to help the BFEE steal billions

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Robert Earl, who destroyed national security documents during Iran-Contra, is working as
 chief of staff to acting Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, says the Pentagon said.

 Earl destroyed and stole national security documents while working for Oliver North (R-Guilty)
 during a secret arms deal with Iran in which the BFEE passed money from those weapons sales
 to Contra guerrillas in Nicaragua.

 But some raised questions about Bush's decision to give such a senior job to a person with a
 record of tampering with the very kinds of classified national security documents he will now oversee.

 ha ha
 The press acts like this isn't everyday behavior for the BFEE.

"That fact is that this is a very sensitive and critical job," said Common Cause.
"... this is a job that should be filled by someone who is beyond reproach."
 

 But if the Democrats don't care that Bush is stacking the top levels of government NOT
 with qualified people, but people who are loyal to the Bush family before their country.

 A criminal commits crimes until he is stopped.
 Why should Bush stop if nobody calls him on anything?
 

 BTW, this is why we see headlines that this:
 Halliburton given another $5B by Pentagon
 

..

  Maybe, but not if it meant killing 2,000 soldiers and 100,000 civilians.

 450 Sheep Jump to Their Deaths in Turkey

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 First one sheep jumped to its death. Then stunned Turkish shepherds, who had left
 the herd to graze while they had breakfast, watched as nearly 1,500 others followed,
 each leaping off the same cliff, Turkish media reported.

 In the end, 450 dead animals lay on top of one another in a billowy white pile.
 Sheep that jumped later were saved as the pile got higher and the fall more cushioned.
 

 The brainless sheep didn't know any better,

 ...but

 why are we still sending soldiers to die in Iraq for Halliburton?

 Boy President in a Failed World

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Thursday, I watched our President take that long, outdoor, photo-op walk from the G-8 summit
 meeting to the microphones to make a statement to reporters. Exploding subways, a blistered bus,
 the dead, wounded, dazed, and distraught just then staggering through our on-screen morning, and
 there he was. He had his normal, slightly bowlegged walk, his arms held just out from his side in a
 fashion that brings the otherwise unusable word "akimbo" to mind. It's a walk -- the walk to the podium
 at the White House press conference, to the presidential helicopter, to the Rose Garden microphone
 -- that is now his well-practiced signature move. For some people, a tone of voice or a facial expression
 can tell you everything you need to know; that's how the President's walk acts for him. And nothing puts
 spine in that walk the way the war on terror does. Each horror is like a shot of adrenalin."

 Subject: Karl Rove

 Dear Bart,

 I always enjoy your site, but I was a little confused by your claim that Karl Rove
 is invulnerable, especially since you put the word in italics.  I was even more confused
 that you said the Rove affair is all just a ruse to "avoid talking about Bush's bloody quagmire."

 Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, but your comments read as if you think Rove
 planned to get himself caught in an embarrassing situation, at the very least.
 Don't you think Rove's outing of Plame had something to do with the Chimp's ugly little war?
 I don't see how this takes our minds off Iraq at all.  Can you clarify what you meant?

 Curious in Miami,
 Tim S
 

 Tim, I meant the president is a crooked son of a bitch from a family with a history of
 issuing pardons when justice starts to catch on to their global takeover schemes.

 Plus, they know they can depend on their employees on the Supreme Court.
 The worst that could happen to Rove is he'll officially be removed from the list
 of advisors but he'll always be the brain that Bush never had.

 Bono is the most hated person, second only to Scott Peterson and Paris Hilton.
 People hate him because he's a smarmy "do-goooder," always whining about
 the starving children, yada, yada, yada.  Hey, screw those kids!

 Why can't Bono just be another crazed coke whore, screwing supermodels and
 actresses like most rock stars?  Who's he trying to kid with this "save the children" crap?

 I hate him, too.

"In the 90's, there was a media uproar when literally accurate but
  misleading statements were made about a private sexual affair.
  Today, when such statements are made about a life and death matter
  -- the decision to go to war -- there is barely a peep from the press corps."

 John, the American press is for sale - they are whores.
 They are doing what their owners tell them to do, which is protect Bush.

 It Just Gets Worse

  Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Back in March 2004 President Bush had a great time displaying what he felt was a hilarious
 set of photos showing him searching the Oval Office for the WMDs that hadn't been found in Iraq.
 It was a spoof he performed at the annual RTCA dinner. The photos showed the president peering
 behind curtains and looking under furniture for the missing weapons. Mr. Bush offered mock captions
 for the photos, saying, "Those WMDs have got to be somewhere" and "Nope, no weapons over there
 ... maybe under here?" If there's something funny about Mr. Bush's misbegotten war, I've yet to see it."

 Subject: fuck poker

 I hate your obsession with poker, its disgusting.
 Mark Berns
 

 Mark, you have chosen your bitch words very poorly.
 My "obsession" with poker isn't "disgusting," it can't be.
 If I was obsessed with sexing young boys, that might be disgusting, but poker?

 If you had thought a minute before sending your nasty-gram, you might've
 phrased that differently, perhaps using "uninteresting to me," or something similar.

 Tell me, when you pick up a newspaper or magazine to read,
 does every article interest you to the same degree?   No, it can't.

 You're not forced to hover over a poker story at  bartcop.com  as you might be
 if you were watching 60 Minutes waiting for the second story to play.
 You are choosing to obsess over poker - and that means you've lost control.

 Perhaps you lost at poker as a child and the "P" word has scared and scarred you?
 I'll pray for you.
