"U.S. attorneys are political appointees. They're
prosecutors appointed by the president,
who serve at his pleasure. So presumably
the president can dismiss them. What did the

Iraq &
Washington's Systemic Failure
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney may deserve the
most blame for the Iraq War, but a core reality shouldn't
be missed: the four-year-old conflict resulted
from a systemic failure in Washington - from the White House,
to congressional Republicans and Democrats, to
an insular national news media, to Inside-the-Beltway think tanks.
It was a perfect storm that had been building
for more than a quarter century, a collision of mutually reinforcing
elements: aggressive Republicans, triangulating
Democrats, careerist journalists, bullying cable-TV and talk-radio
pundits, hard-hitting and well-funded think tanks
on the Right versus ineffectual and marginalized groups on the Left.
"Tough-guy-ism" from Washington's armchair Rambos
had become the capital's controlling ideology, especially
after the 9/11 terror attacks. In part, the Iraq
War could be viewed as a macho parlor game of one-upmanship
gone mad, with very few daring to be called unmanly
or un-American.
The war that has killed some 3,200 U.S. soldiers
and possibly hundreds of thousands of Iraqis also can be traced
to conflicting self-interests, pitting what makes
sense for Washington insiders against what's best for the broader
American public and especially military families.

Subject: How many more years of failure can we stand?
On the 4th anniversary of Bush's war we have to
ask ourselves how many more years will it take
before we figure out that the war is lost? Will
it be 5 years or 10 years?
Yes it is true that if we pull out there will
be a civil war but that's going to happen anyway unless
we decide to stay there forever One point that
people are missing is that if the government doesn't
get us out of Iraq we're going to have a civil
war here.
The people are going to rise up and take the government back from both the Republicans and the Democrats.

An Awful
Legacy of Bush 41
Poppy Bush played with prosecutors, too
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
The queries and hints from above created intense
pressure on Mr. Banks to act on the Lewis referral despite
his opinion, shared by the F.B.I., that her work
was sloppy and biased. After Mr. Barr ordered him to act on
the referral no later than two weeks before Election
Day, he replied with a roar of conscience.
"I must opine that after such a lapse of time,
the insistence for urgency in this case appears to suggest an
intentional or unintentional attempt to intervene
into the political process of the upcoming presidential election...
"For me personally to participate in an investigation
that I know will or could easily lead to the above scenario
is inappropriate. I believe it amounts to prosecutorial
misconduct and violates the most basic fundamental
rule of Department of Justice policy."
Mr. Banks forfeited his promised judgeship and
returned to private practice with his political career ended.
How about that?
Joe Conason may have found the last honest Republican.
...and it was in 1992.

Praise,
then 'You're Fired"
Justice loved Iglesias until he was fired for 'bad work'
Excerpt:
One of the U.S. attorneys fired by Bush after
Republican complaints that he neglected to prosecute "voter fraud"
had been heralded for his expertise in that area
by the Justice Department, which twice selected him to train other
federal prosecutors to pursue election crimes.
David C. Iglesias, who was dismissed as U.S. attorney for New
Mexico in December, was one of two chief federal
prosecutors invited to teach at a "voting integrity symposium"
in October 2005. The symposium was sponsored
by Justice's public integrity and civil rights sections and was
attended by more than 100 prosecutors from around
the country, according to an account by Iglesias that a
department spokesman confirmed.

The Ethics
of Whoredom
When your spouse covers a candidate...
Excerpt:
Matthew Cooper, the former Time magazine correspondent
who was a witness in the recent trial of "Scooter" Libby,
says he hasn't figured out exactly how to cope
with the fact that his wife, Mandy Grunwald, is a chief ad strategist in
Hillary's campaign. Now Washington editor for
Portfolio magazine, Cooper said he expects to write about Clinton
and "to acknowledge my wife works for Hillary
at least on Hillary-centric stories."
This is funny - whores trying to act like they want to disclose their
ties to a candidate.
A reporter often gets hired because he has friends and contacts
in high places.
A better way to measure their whoredom is to follow the money.
When Russert tells you Bush's tax cuts for the super-rich is "a great
idea,"
he should have to disclose his salary and how much he'll make from
Bush's tax plans.
Since Russert is a multi-millionaire, his tax breaks from Bush have
been hueueuege
But does he ever mention how much he, personally, has gained by pushing
Bush's crooked tax cuts?

Hey Bart,
It's only logical that they send them back, you
don't throw away a half used roll of paper towels do you??
It's a win win situation. The already injured
guy can get all the way killed saving the life of a non injured guy.
Then it gets better, the now dead guy is off the
hospital care lists and thereby has saved money for treatment.
That money can be better used for paying Haliburton
for it's splendid work and giving more tax breaks
to the uber wealthy so they can grow the economy.
How can you argue with that?

Death of a Marine
Excerpt:
By the time he came home, Jeffrey Lucey was a
mess. He had gruesome stories to tell. They could not
all be verified, but there was no doubt that
this once-healthy young man had been shattered by his experiences.
He had nightmares.
He drank furiously.
He withdrew from his friends.
He wrecked his parents' car.
He began to hallucinate.
In a moment of deep despair on the Christmas Eve
after his return from Iraq, Jeffrey hurled his dogtags
at his sister Debra and cried out, "Don't you
know your brother's a murderer?"
Jeffrey exhibited all the signs of deep depression
and post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Then I could see, through the corner of my eye,
Jeff," said Mr. Lucey. "And he was, I thought, standing there.
Then I noticed the hose around his neck."
According to the Pentagon we have tens of thousands of
soldiers returning in this condition.
We're going to have to deal with them for decades to come.
In the year 2030, if you see a man sleeping in a dumpster,
he could very well be another Bush victim.

Bush's other scandal defenses
Excerpt:
Karl Rove was perhaps the first player who had
the bright idea of screening the federal prosecutors for
partisan loyalty, and purging those who failed
that test. In a message to White House aide David Leitch,
dated Jan. 9, 2005, Kyle Sampson (the guy who
just resigned as Gonzales' chief of staff) pondered a query
from Rove and concluded that perhaps 15 to 20
percent of the proescutors could not be considered "loyal Bushies."
He predicted that such a daring plan would probably
tick people off in Washington, but wrote that
"if Karl thinks there would be a political will
to do it, then so do I."
If Karl Rove started the ball rolling, you know it's political and you
know it's crooked.
That's why Rove must always be protected.
Throw Libby to the wolves if you must.
Throw Harriet Miers to the wolves if you must.
Throw Gonzales to the wolves if you must,
but Karl Rove must be protected at all costs because he's Bush's
crooked brain.

The Terrorists-Follow-Us-Home
Myth
by Ivan Eland
Excerpt:
The average American, especially after the luck
that the hijackers benefited from on 9/11, should not be blamed
for overestimating the danger of terrorism. The
U.S. security agencies, to get more funds and authority for their
bureaucracies, have constantly used color-coded
warnings and other techniques of fear mongering to keep the
anxiety generated by 9/11 alive in the public
consciousness.
The U.S. media, getting high ratings from sensational
reporting on terrorism, has been a willing accomplice
to the administration effort.
The "Islamo-fascist" scare has worked. The already
massive U.S. defense budget has increased by 50%
and the budget of the recently created Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) has doubled.
The lifetime probability that international terrorists
will kill any one American is a miniscule one in 80,000,
about the same as the same person being killed
by a comet.
