good one! how bout a quick quip on the article though. This discussion is all about due process, transparency, and the distribution of justice right? Well there you have it- Iran has just sentenced to death 5 election dissenters. they were caught, tried, and now will be hanged. Thats good, right?

Do you believe that what Iran does, reflects on the United States?

JoeDon, would you have liked to have seen those election protesters who stormed the registrar of voters office in Miami after the 2000 election to voice their displeasure with the count in progress to have been, caught, tried, and executed?

In case you've missed it, JoeDon, one purpose of having open trials here is to contrast the way our justice system works compared to that of Iran's.

What the fuck are you bitching about? Are you claiming that we should be more like Iran?

If you are a foreigner and abusing the american citizen they will fight to their last breathe to get you the rights our constitution has given to its citizens. Neither of these parties (weekly Standard or ACLU) are to be admired for their works on behalf of this country.

Perhaps you can tell us which rights, other than the right to vote, the Constitution of the United States reserves for citizens only.

On to your disdain for actual evidence -- as compared to your love for the sound of your own voice -- did you look at the satellite photos, or are you perfectly content with your "argument from authority", viz: "I am an expert so believe me..."?

I'll trust my personal knowledge over the "actual evidence" gained by an untrained someone looking at a satelite photo taken from some unknown altitude, at an unknown time, and at an unknown angle, yes.

Frankly, I don't give a shit whether you believe me or not because frankly, I don't give a shit if Iran goes nuke or not.

I worry more about the Israelis doing something stupid than I do of the Iranians.

Look what up?

I worked in the nuclear industry for over 20 years, including at the Piketon, Ohio enrichment plant which utilized the same centrifuge system as the Iranians, I had DOE clearance to work at Hanford, Washington, Savannah River, South Carolina and Oak Ridge,TN.

I can tell you that it would take more than a "small on-site generator" to power up a full blown enrichment operation using either the centrifuge method or gaseous diffusion method and it would take more than 300 centrifuges to enrich enough weapons grade material for even a small weapon over a short period of time (less than 3-5 years).

Pound sand, Birdman.

OH

I'd love to buy you both a beer, or soda, or wine or whatever it is Ohioans drink at football games.

At most bowl games, Buckeye fans can be seen drinking liquid Drain-o.

Difference being I don't stalk Ms. Plame and simply admire and respect her mojo from afar.

Why?

Apparently you didn't see her and Joe smokin and jokin with her "persecutors" at a recent Whitehouse Correspondents dinner.

It's a fucking game with these people.

Would you fault Obama for wearing a yarmulke when attending a Jewish religious service?

Would you fault Michelle Obama for wearing a chapel veil when being received by the Pope?

Did it offend you to see that photo of George W. Bush walking down the path in Crawford fucking Texas, holding the hand of one of the Saudi royal family?

I am probably inconsistant here - sorry - I liked Reagan

So you put your likes and dislikes above the fiscal health of this country?

I see.

That's pretty selfish, isn't it?

Yes, my reasons will be different from yours. I believe he is a socialist and is the most recent in a long line of politicians who are spending us into destruction.

The Soviet Union collapsed because it died economically - we are on the same course.

Then you must have favored impeachment of the last president also.

How about Reagan? His spending was pretty free wheeling also and his deficits were historically huge.

No?

I did not realize that the "Four Horsemen of the Financial Eclipse" are considered neocons.

And I am in agreement with your sentiments.

Well, they sure as hell aren't liberals, and they sure as hell aren't Goldwater conservatives.

What's left? They are closer to neocons than any other handy description.

My sentiments relative to impeachment are not new but I have feeling that you agree for different reason(s). :)

In my case, we need to set an example. We missed the boat with Bush but there'a no reason to miss it with this President.

Of course, if you were to peruse the sat images of fuel processing plants -- which don't produce electricity and therefore don't need "transmission" lines -- you wouldn't see any high tension lines, now would you?

Not that I am defending that idiot, but generally, facilities to enrich uranium require huge gobs of electric power.

There would definately be a noticable trail of transmission lines to such a facility unless the lines were also buried - and that construction would in itself be noticiable.

Currently the United States government is administered by a Democrat POTUS, a Democrat majority in the House, and a Democrat Super Majority in the Senate.

Obama, Biden, Pelosi, and Reid.

The bomb is their bomb.

Who said anything about neocons being restricted to the Republican Party?

Conservatives currently control much of what goes on in Congress, not liberals. Party designation is worthless if much of one party is conservative and most of the other is also.

This is a Conservative bomb and our wars are conservative wars, just like our budget deficits are conservative deficits.

Anyone who still believes Obama is a liberal or even leans to the left on most issues is in dire need of a lobotomy.

It's past time to look at impeaching him.
