Reagan-Bush
Drug Legacy
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Two grisly mass executions in Guatemala
- one involving three Salvadoran legislators and the second
the four policemen who confessed to killing them
- suggest that the Reagan era's ideological tolerance
of right-wing drug traffickers remains
a corrupting legacy in the region.
In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush
saw Central America as a Cold War battleground
and thus downplayed evidence that right-wing
paramilitary operatives in El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica,
Guatemala and the Nicaraguan contra movement
were deeply implicated in cocaine trafficking.
That political protection enabled cash-rich South
American cocaine cartels to penetrate Central American
security forces and turn the region into a way
station for smuggling cocaine north to the United States.
Over the past two decades, that criminality has
hardened into business as usual for many police officials
and military officers.
...and they impeached Clinton for a blow job?

Liar in the White house
Excerpt:
Cheney said he was "very disappointed with the
verdict". At the White House the mood was equally grim.
Bush respected the result of the trial, but was
"saddened for Scooter Libby and his family", a spokesman said.
But there is no concealing the extent of the
damage. Libby is not only the most senior Bush administration official
to face - and now be convicted of - criminal
charges. As chief of staff to the most powerful VP in US history,
he was one of the two or three most important
policy-makers at the White House after Bush & Cheney. The trial,
in which neither Libby nor his former boss testified,
threw no new light on the handling of the WMD intelligence
used to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq. But
it revealed the obsessive sensitivity of the Vice-President's office
to any attack on its pre-war use of intelligence,
and its determination to discredit critics.

Subject: Libby Guilty
It's a shame the Scooter Libby was merely convicted
of perjury instead of treason.
Libby should be hung. He was a key figure in
the web of lies that got America into this war.
He is directly responsible for the deaths of
over 3000 of our soldiers.
Even if Bush doesn't pardon him at best he'll
only do 2 years or so.
When people lie to get a country into a war that's
high treason.
And the entire Bush administration is guilty
of it.

Bush's New
US Attorney a Criminal?
by Greg Palast
Excerpt:
There's only one thing worse than sacking an
honest prosecutor.
That's replacing an honest prosecutor with a
criminal.
There was one big hoohah yesterday as John Conyers
pulled down the pants on Bush's firing of
US Attorneys to expose a scheme to punish prosecutors
who wouldn't bend to political pressure.
But the Committee missed a big one: Timothy Griffin,
Karl Rove's assistant, the President's pick as
US Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Griffin, according to BBC Television, was the hidden
hand behind a scheme to wipe out the voting rights
of 70,000 citizens prior to the 2004 election.
Key voters on Griffin's hit list: Black soldiers
and homeless men and women. Nice guy, eh?
Naughty or nice, however, is not the issue.
Targeting voters where race is a factor is a
felony crime under the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Can you believe the Democrats are actually holding hearings of this?
Just when news of the Walter Reed problems is spreading,
the same week that Cheney's Chief of Staff was found guilty.
How much lower can these bastards go in the polls?

Hagel to announce Monday
Excerpt:
Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel, a Vietnam War veteran
who has been openly critical of
Bush's failures Iraq, will announce on Monday
whether he plans to run for president in 2008.
Hagel said he will hold a news conference in Omaha
"regarding his future plans."
Nine pro-war Republicans are also seeking the
party's nomination.
Hagel and aides did not discuss his intentions,
but he accepted an offer to appear at
a labor forum for presidential candidates from
both parties next week in Washington.
Hagel has been a harsh critic of Bush's bungling
and he co-sponsored a non-binding resolution
condemning Bush's proposal to send more troops
to Iraq. He called Bush "the most dangerous
foreign policy fuck-up since Vietnam" and said
Bush was playing "ping-pong with American lives."
As far as I'm concerned, Hagel is the smartest one of the GOP bunch.
He saw the war was a failure and spoke out against it before most Democrats.

30 Vermont towns seek to impeach Bush
Excerpt:
More than 30 Vermont towns passed resolutions
on Tuesday seeking to impeach Bush,
while at least 16 towns called on Washington
to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq.
Vermont is in the vanguard of a movement to impeach
Bush over his unpopular Iraq war.
"We're putting impeachment on the table," said
James Leas, a Vermont lawyer who helped
draft the resolutions and is tracking the votes.
"The people in all these towns are voting to
get this process started and bring the troops
home now."
"The president must be held accountable," said
state Rep. David Zuckerman.
Nancy Pelosi, call your office.
You have a crooked adminsitration that needs to be impeached and jailed.

Haggard's
Church forced to lay off workers
Sharp drop in donations is the reason
"Blow
one meth dealer and
they brand you a homo for life."
Excerpt:
In the wake of his gay sex scandall, the Rev.
Ted Haggard has been forced to lay off
44 of its 350 workers to offset a sharp drop
in donations.
Mr. Haggard resigned as president of the 30-million-member
National Association of Evangelicals
in November and was removed as senior pastor
of the New Life megachurch after a former male
prostitute said that he had had a three-year
sexual relationship with Mr. Haggard and had helped
him obtain methamphetamines.
After initially denying the accusations, Mr. Haggard
confessed to buying drugs from the former prostitute,
Michael Jones, and admitted to what he termed
"sexual immorality." Mr. Haggard has since gone through
Homo No mo" counseling, and was declared "completely
heterosexual" by a member of a panel of ministers
appointed to oversee his crime syndicate that
preys on the sick and the old..

Bart:
I've read the Warren Commission report cover to

The evidence is overwhelming that he did. The
only thing that continues to nag at me is that every single other
high-level political nut job assassination (or
attempt) that I am aware of throughout history has proudly taken
the stage, a la John Wilkes Boothe and said "Thus
with all tyrants" or some such drivel, whether they were
with a conspiracy, as Boothe was, or not, like
Sara Jane Moore.
I think Oswald was part of a conspiracy, but was
surprised to find out he was the patsy.

Hey Bart!
What's up with all these so-called liberals and
Democrats?
They seem to be able to misunderstand what you
say no matter what.
Since day one, it has sounded to me like you are saying:
"I don't care if it's a skanky crack ho (insert

monkey (insert Dennis Miller joke here) who becomes
the Democratic nominee for president.
Anything's better than the Giggling Murderer.
She's the front runner, so why don't we stop
attacking Her

start attacking the Republican'ts?"

The Libby Verdict
Excerpt:
The specter of a nuclear-armed Iraq was central to Bush's case for
rushing to war. So, the trial testimony showed,
Cheney orchestrated an assault on Wilson's credibility
with the help of Libby and others. They whispered to
journalists that Wilson's wife worked at the
C.I.A. and that nepotism was the reason he had been chosen for the trip.
That is what we know from the Libby trial, and
it is some of the clearest evidence yet that this administration did not
get duped by faulty intelligence; at the very
least, it cherry-picked and hyped intelligence to justify the war.
What Wilson found, and subsequent investigations
confirmed, was that there was one trip in 1999 - not "recently,"
but four years before Bush's statement - by an
Iraqi official to Niger and that during that trip, uranium was never discussed.
But just as clear is the fact that the NW Whore Times wasn't duped by
this crooked White House.
They were getting that "exclusive access" that whores like Russert
got for spinning things for Cheney.
The NY Whore Times traded what was left of their credibility for access
to Cheney.
They are whores that cannot be trusted.

Day after day, the bile trickles out, from bloggers,
commentators and others.
In one scathing declaration, David Sirota wrote
that he wished Lieberman's "melting, Emperor-from

set and freaking out my dog, Monty."
Bloggers are branding Lieberman a "war criminal,"
or "the most dishonest, dishonorable person in D.C., today."
Meanwhile, on "Meet the Press," Chuck Hagel unloaded
after Lieberman said he wanted to win in Iraq
for his children and grandchildren. Hagel
said he was "offended" by suggestions that those who want to
curb U.S. involvement were advocating defeat.
"We all have children and grandchildren. He doesn't have
a market on that, nor do any of my colleagues."

If you want to understand the mind of Jim Garrison,
read the classic Playboy Magazine interview in
three parts:

The interview is fascinating.
There is much in what he says that is strangely

Hostages to Policy
Excerpt:
This is hot-button blackmail. Little could be
more painful than a parent, any parent, outliving a child,
or believing that a child had his or her life
cut off at a young age and in vain. To use such natural
parental emotions, as well as those that come
from having your children (or siblings or wife or husband)
away at war and in constant danger of injury
or death, is the last refuge of a political scoundrel. It amounts
to mobilizing the prestige of anxious or grieving
parents in a program of national emotional blackmail.
It effectively musters support for the President's
ongoing Iraq policy by separating the military from the
war it is fighting and by declaring non-support
for the war taboo, if you act on it.
It indeed does turn the troops in a wasteful and
wasted invasion and war, ordered by a wasteful,
thoughtless administration of gamblers and schemers
who had no hesitation about spilling other
people's blood, into hostages. Realistically,
for an administration that was, until now, unfazed by
the crisis at Walter Reed, this is nothing but
building your politics on the backs of the dead,
the maimed, and the psychologically distraught
or destroyed.
People act so surprised when they find out Bush & Cheney are murdering
scumbags.
If they had been reading bartcop.com they would've known
that in 2000.
