had ordered an investigation inot this most recent NY Times spy program. I find the timeing of the leak suspect and don't buy it either. But, yes, I do think there are other programs. Since Cheney was involved in Iran-Contra and teh the NSC-not NSA. Could it be that these programs which may gather internet acivity and possibly ship it to a 3rd-party country for storage-like New Zealand, UK-EU members.That would make this war crimes. Is this why Cheney keeps trying to make the ridiculous claims he is not part of the Executive Branch? If it came to war crimes-he would hang it on GW in a heartbeat.
All of these programs have been judicated in court to be violations of the 4th.Congress had already giving explicit instuctions-according to FISA (that was violated).with such a program in place, there are no rules, and anyone could be rounded up for interogations: kids, innocents,....
Bush is guilty of saying he himself is guilty of violating NATO agreements with an ally like Iraq.Overthrowing and interfering is illegal by Nato doctrine. Is this what he just put Delay in charge of?
Looks like never.
I wish pundits had stayed with the "it's the economy stupid" and keep pounding on both Bushs' with that one. Had we stayed on that one-we may not be in the Middle East.
Is it me, Glenn-or does there seeem to be a deliberate plan to dumb down Americans with this crap-sloganeering...
I found MSNBCs' and other msm making fun of Miss South Carolina to be purely hypocritical-as they show butt-crack images of Brittney or expose us to the latest Lohan/Paris idiocy. Who's dumber: the person doing these things-or the msm for giving them airtime?
I feel I need a shower after watching the gutter levels the msm has stooped to. Think I'm going to turn it off-or watch CNN more.
I'm liking them better these days.
of any wrongdoing-even in the face of convictions by courts of laws, I can begin the understand why.
All of the Christian "values " of the fundies who have been imbedded into all branches of government have taken it upon themselves to try to judge or convict anyone who does not believe in thier "true believer" status. This is evidenced by Goodling in her own testimony as she asked questions about religious beliefs and affiliations to job applicants. So we have rule of law being governed by a small group of the entire segment of the population who want to promote thier own beliefs (religious)in gross overreach and interterpretation of the actual laws as they are written.While Padilla is locked up with no trial-becasue he is Muslim and already judged by some in govt. to "look" guilty-those same people who heard that Libby was convicted-refused to believe it. Even with the evidence against him- Even with his own admisssion of deception.So the right judged him-even before trial-that he was innocent. They continue to say so-which is idiotic.
This "judgemental" aspect of religious and fundies has come back to bite them in the ars. Foley, Ted, Vitter, poss. Craig-all show the intolerant judgemental society that the GOP has held themselves up to-only to consistently fail.You'd think the GOP would get a brain and lose this crowd if they have any hopes of survival.
2)An oil bloc of countries by conquering Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran-giving them a foothold in the future.
These were the 2 objectives of 911 by the WH.
It sets the stage in a few years for yet more war with other countries in the Caspain area and ultimately Russia.
In the wake of the lawsuits agaisnt telecoms-I wish every American would bring a lawsuit against the Telecom.
It's a guaranteed winner-since the WH does not want to have to disclose any information about the NSA program-they know it would not hold up in court. This is why I believe the secrecy-
even they know how illegal it is. Even they know how likely they woulod be imprisoned for it. Threats of imprisonment against telecoms for illegality should be made.they should be made to testify against GW for immunity.
I've always thought he was at the root of all of it. I did not know about his Iran/Contra ties until recently. I also know he was one of the four to try to get the bogus Niger docs to the US-passing it off through magazines who knew it was bogus. The French also saw them first and knew they were frauds. Apparently it took several attempts by this apple-dumpling neocon gang. Heard they used documents using the incorrect name of the Nigerian PM-on one attempt.This guy is a crazed maniacal zealot inthe worst kind of way-and needs to be committed.What is his connection to the Franklin case? Franklin was just charged under very quiet courts-as being a double agent. why not Ledeen?

You get the point by now.
Judge not-lest Ye be Judged, you Fat-Assed bastards
It is about time the psychology looked into the actions of those who took us to war-and those who continue to follow-and address those underlying issues.
In light that the very same ones who never served in the military being the very same ones to order wars-should be a red flag to us all. Even more so that none of thier kids do either.
I think the schoolyard bullies/bullied have just grown up to be the biggest global bullies.
It shows by the emphasis on military might as opposed to diplomacy.
This "Say-UNCLE-already" approach should be going down in the history books as well as psychology books as a failed technique.
