"In the case George W. Bush, the American system
has obviously failed -- tragically.
Imagine the difference in our worldview today,
had the institutions -- particularly of government
-- done their job to insure that a mendacious
and dangerous president (as has since been proven
many times over-beyond mere assertion) be
restrained in a war that has killed thousands of
American soldiers, brought turmoil to the
lives of millions, and constrained the goodwill towards
the United States in much of the world."

half of the Woodward/Bernstein team, Link

The Plame-gate
Plot Thickens
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
One of the unanswered questions about the Wilson-Plame
story is why Bush would have involved Rove
in discussions that involved the identity of
a covert CIA officer, normally considered one of the most
sensitive secrets in the U.S. government shared
only with officials who have a strict need to know.
Yet, instead of treating Plame's identity with
care, senior Bush officials appeared to have bandied the
information about, giving it to political operative
Rove and then sharing it with journalists, one of whom
- Robert Novak - published a column outing Plame
and thus exposing her overseas spy network.
The administration behavior suggests that it put
protecting Bush's political flanks
ahead of guarding sensitive national security
secrets.

Libby turns on Cheney
Hotter than Miss USA kissing Miss Teen USA
Excerpt:
White House officials tried to sacrifice Libby
to protect Karl Rove from Plame blame
during a political storm over Bush's bloody quagmire,
Libby's lawyer said Tuesday.
After Libby complained "they want me to be the
sacrificial lamb," Cheney personally intervened
to get Scottie the Underbear to publicly clear
Libby in the leak, defense attorney Theodore Wells
said in his opening statement at Libby's perjury
trial.
Prosecutor Patrick Fitzmasdontbelate told the
jury Libby lied to the FBI and a grand jury about his
contacts with reporters concerning Plame to save
his job and avoid political embarrassment. In a rare move,
Fitzgerald played four short tape recordings
of Libby's statements to the grand jury that he said were lies.
Remember how they got Nixon?
First they got rid of Agnew and then they closed in on Mr. Guilty.

Bush rapes Justice
Excerpt:
The federal investigation into Congressional
corruption is approaching a crucial deadline and potential dead end.
Feb. 15 is the last day on the job for United
States Attorney Carol Lam of San Diego, the inquiry's dedicated
prosecutor, who is being purged by the Bush administration.
Her investigation led to the imprisonment of Rep
Duke Cunningham, the Republican who took millions of dollars
in bribes in exchange for delivering lucrative
government contracts. But just as Ms. Lam was digging into other
possible wrongdoing, our crooked president decided
to force her from office without explanation.
Lam has been investigating Brent Wilkes, the crook
who was designated co-conspirator No. 1 in the Cunningham
case. The inquiry has been looking into
rich government contracts from Representative Jerry Lewis (R-Crook)
- the former appropriations chairman -
and his staff. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Wilkes could be
indicted before Ms. Lam leaves office. The question
now is whether her successor, as yet unnamed, will pursue
the inquiry with the same dedication or will
quietly smother it.
Why is it legal for Bush to fire every prosecutor
who gets close to GOP corruption?
If only we had a Democratic congress that would
stand up and stop him.

Duke prosecutor in trouble
Excerpt:
The state bar has added ethics charges to a complaint
filed against the prosecutor who brought
sexual assault charges against three Duke lacrosse
players, accusing him of withholding DNA
evidence and making misleading statements to
the court.
District Attorney Mike Nifong's actions constitute
a "systematic abuse of prosecutorial discretion
... prejudicial to the administration of justice,"
the complaint read. Nifong was to appear at a
procedural conference Wednesday to discuss administrative
details of the ethics complaint.
He needs to do some time to prevent other politically
motivated prosecutors from doing the same.
On 60 Minutes, they said he got
the lab report on April 10 that showed four different semen
samples in the accuser's underwear - none from
any Duke player accused. A week later,
this ambitious bastard files charges against
the three and left the BIG facts out of the lab report.
Can you imagine what it's like to have your name and picture with "RAPIST"
in every newspaper and TV nightly news report in this whore media nation?
It was always a local story, but the whore networks made these
unlucky bastards out to be OJ Simpsons.

CIA warned Cheney about Plame leak
Excerpt:
A CIA employee who gave regular intelligence
briefings to Cheney and Libby, testified yesterday that
shortly after the leak of a CIA operative's identity,
the pair was given a stark warning that the leak could
lead to the deaths of people who aided American
intelligence gathering abroad.
"I thought there was a very grave danger to leaking
the name of a CIA officer," the briefer from Langley,
Craig Schmall, said he told Cheney and Libby
during a morning session at the vice president's residence.
"Foreign intelligence services where she served
now have the opportunity to investigate everyone whom
she had come in contact with. They could be arrested,
tortured, or killed."
But Cheney didn't care because he and the Little
Dictator are/were stealing $300M a day.
If they're willing to sacrifice 3050 soldiers
to steal that money, why should they have a heart
when they're told their treasonous actions could
endanger undercover allies abroad?

Subject: Why she hates Hillary
I have a feeling Cindy Sheehan doesn't understand
that the Hillary Clinton she met with was Senator Clinton
from New York and not Chelsea's mom. Senator
Clinton is not a mom who can act like just another mother.
Sheehan is not acting as a liberal. She
is not acting as a Democrat. She is a Gold Star Mother who has her
own agenda. It aligns with the agenda of
the others who oppose the Iraqi invasion and/or occupation.
But it is not identical.
Sheehan wanted to sidetrack the very important
goals of the Democratic leadership in areas of health care,
minimum wages, congressional ethics, and investigation
of the "potential" crimes of the administration just to
get her only issue to dominate everything.
Sheehan seems willing to sacrifice everything else so that her son's
death would mean something to herself.
She wants her son's death to mean the end of US involvement in
Afghanistan and Iraq. To her that would
mean Casey Sheehan did not die in vain.
Sheehan is not our savior.
She is not any more important to our causes than
other one issue leaders that happen to fit the Democratic agenda.
She is just another leader that wants one of
our goals, but only one as far as I can tell.

Bush's Fatal Mistake
Excerpt:
In his State of the Union address, Bush repeated
his pledge to stay the course in Iraq -- despite warning
of a "nightmare scenario" if violence spreads
to the country's neighbors. But he was wrong to ignore the
recommendations of the Iraq Study Group.
Iraq is an orgy of blood, butchery and barbarism
-- a bleak example of what men can do to other men
given the chance and the justification. American
soldiers are dying, too, their country is disillusioned,
and Bush will go down in history for his ill-fated
attempt to create a new order in the Middle East.
When Baker and Lee Whitewash Hamilton made their
proposals late last year, most of the world
breathed a deep sigh of relief. Many Americans
thought the roadmap for a withdrawal from Iraq
would be an offer that George W. Bush couldn't
refuse.
But the snot-nosed little punk wants to save face
no matter how many thousands of soldiers have
to die,
no matter how many thousands more suicide bombers
he creates.
That's what happens when a crooked moron steals power.
If only Gore and Kerry had chosen to fight back...

Obama Takes On Fox News
Excerpt:
If this is a sign of how Obama intends to deal
with the right-wing media during his '08 campaign, then I'm all for it.
Obama is aggressively going after Fox News today
for pushing that smear-job report claiming that he went to an
Islamic "madrassa" school as a child. The report
has already been completely debunked by CNN, but Obama
isn't letting up. The Senator's office has just
emailed out a blistering memo targeting Fox that says the following:
In the past week, many of you have read a now
thoroughly-debunked story by Insight Magazine,
owned by the Washington Times, which cites unnamed
sources close to a political campaign that
claim Senator Obama was...
If Obama is a fighter, maybe there's room for him on the ticket.
He's always been this "Can't we all get along?"
kind of guy,
but if he's willing to take the gloves off, I
think he'd make a great VP.

Dear Bart
I am amazed that you don't realize that the Democratic
Party has become
nothing more than an echo chamber for the New
World Order.
I don't even know what that means.
Real progressives spotted the duplicitous Hillary when she was the first lady.
Who are the "real" progressives?
Obama is nothing more than an empty suit who will
obey his ruling elite masters
and pretend like he is somehow one of the people.
Obama isn't one of the people?
Quite correctly he is being called a Halfrican
but he is not really an American anymore than
a Koala bear born in the San Diego zoo is indigenous
to North America.
I also don't understand "Halfrican."
Since he has dark skin, I get the African half
- what's the other half?
Remember ALL presidents are selected not really
elected.

Tortured
Logic
by
Amy Goodman
Excerpt:
The new head of the Senate Judiciary Committee
was angry. Sen. Patrick Leahy was questioning
Tortureboy Gonzales about a man named Maher Arar.
Arar is a Canadian citizen who the U.S.
detained without charge then sent to Syria in
2002. Leahy fumed: "We knew damn well, if he went
to Canada, he wouldn't be tortured. He'd be held.
He'd be investigated. We also knew damn well,
if he went to Syria, he'd be tortured."
Leahy was responding to Alberto Gonzales' comments
that "there were assurances sought that he
would not be tortured from Syria."
Assurances? From the country that Bush recently described as
the 'crossroads for terrorism'? From the country
that Bush has vilified and threatened to attack?
But before we point the finger at other countries,
we have to look here at home.
I wish that somebody who's smarter than me (that would be everybody
but Bush) would explain
why Syria is our enemy - unless we need to torture an innocent man.
I think Bush is making secret deals with al-Assad, Hezbollah, Iran,
Muqtada and al Qaeda.
The BFEE has done business with Hitler, Noriega, Osama, Saddam, etc.
Hell, the Hezbollah terrorists put Poppy Bush in the White House -
why should they stop now?
It would explain why we haven't had any homeland attacks since 9-11.

Subject: WMDs
Bart, Hans Blix and the other inspectors agreed
that Hussein had no WMDs because, despite increased
and more intrusive inspections and leads supplied
by U.S. Intelligence, absolutely nothing was found.
Could something have been buried in the sand? Possibly, but highly unlikely.
We overran supposed WMD sites the first day and
a half of the war, captured virtually everyone
(military and civilian) who would have knowledge
of any WMD programs, tortured and imprisoned
many of those very same people, offered multi-million
dollar rewards, spent millions of dollars and
several years searching and have come up empty-handed.
The WMD's were never there and the
people who did their homework knew that from
the start. A very safe bet.

Well, certainly it's a safe bet now, in 2007.
That's why I use the poker example.
In poker, you can sit there all day and say,
"I know what you have, I know I have you beat,"
but are you willing to put the East coast of the United States into
the pot and risk losing it?

Rev. Moon's
Anti-Obama Agit-Prop
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
If you've ever wondered how agit-propaganda works,
you might take a look at the latest case study
from the Rev. Sun Myung Moon's media empire -
a bogus story about Barack Obama attending a
Muslim "madrassah" when he was six years old,
a smear that was then attributed to operatives of Hillary Clinton.
The shrewdness of Moon's Insight magazine story
is that it hit two enemies with one anonymously sourced stone,
a strategy of slime and divide straight from
the textbooks of a spy agency like the CIA.
Only in this case, it is not the CIA planting
black propaganda in a foreign publication to undermine
some U.S. enemy. It is Moon using his media
outlets subsidized by his mysterious foreign money
to manipulate and distort the U.S. political
process, again.
The Insight "madrassah" story also turned out
to be false.
