Frist is trying to embarrass Feingold? Whats Wrong with this Picture?
[Read the article: Playing games with breaking the law]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree with an earlier poster(s). Good god, my chosen representatives seem so lame and I do not understand it.
What is the Democratic Party waiting for? The majority of the American people no longer believe what GW Bush says to them in his latest speeches! I'm baffled as to why I see no coordinated effort as a united party in outrage, to stand up and be counted. And we Democrats have plenty of reasons to be outraged darn it.
Might as well be slaughtered for a lion than slayed as a lamb, so I've heard. Our president deserves censure, at the least. What are they waiting for?

i can't look right now...
[Read the article: The Abu Ghraib files]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]but i appreciate what it might have taken to get this information out to your readers. i have admired Salon's reporting for many years.
but i can't look right now - guess i can hardly talk.... what spectator said. what middle aged military veteran said..."it's about our national honor".
i wonder how can any of us can possibly believe we're fighting the good fight, when we're doing it like this. i wasn't brought up this way. i thought our country stood for good things in this world.
but i can't look right now. my eyes are blurred with disconsolate tears.

I Really Dislike Disinformation
[Read the article: Libby's last disinformation campaign]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thank you, Sydney Blumenthal for your reporting. And Salon.com - I really appreciate my subscription and this is one of the reasons.
I don’t write much I’m more of a follower but here goes. The E-man LW earlier, and others like him who baffle me with their anti-Clinton pro-Bush tirades: You go right ahead and remind us of the fact that the exposure of an undercover CIA agent - who worked in the area of weapons of mass destruction - is not the CRIMINAL charge in this trial.
I know that he'd allow me to remind him that all this started because Bush lied to the whole world in his State of the Union speech, and someone called him on his bluff. And this administration just couldn’t stand it.
In these days and times I’ll take what I can get. Scooter ain’t charged with TREASON. To my way of thinking, he’s lucky. And Cheney is damned.
Mr. Fitzgerald has done a fine job of proving that Scooter Libby is guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice. He and his team are not hateful in my eyes; that's what I call responsible. They were assigned a task and it’s done for now.
I still believe in justice, though those wheels do grind exceedingly slow (and fine).

OT?
[Read the article: Libby and the White House book club]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]One of the reasons I like to read a post from joe/Elephantman here at Salon.com is that I know I’ll probably see responses right back at such tripe; and I derive great pleasure from it.
EJKB, You just cracked me up. Weiku Boy, Mr. Smith and many others here talk back with feeling and wit and do so quite spectacularly, from where I’m sitting.

This article makes me sick,
[Read the article: Gonzales' Fan Club of One]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]it is so spot on. Just what are we supposed to do about it, but talk about it, I wonder. Because I've been talking about the president since he won some "election" against Ann Richards in Texas. Didn't do any good to the tone deaf masses.
GWB has always been petulant. Why anyone would vote for and continue to support such a child bully for the highest office is beyond me. Oh, yeah. He didn't win, he punched us in the nose and took office with his loyal justices on the Supreme Court. Guess what? You stand in his way, he'll have someone punch you in your nose, too.
If the only opposition party in this country with any leverage can't muster the energy or the backbone to do something about the war in Iraq, other than some weak-assed timetable budget bill they are apparently still wringing their hands over rather than charging these bloody fools with war profiteering, how can they possibly be expected to do anything about Alberto Gonzales?
When Harry Reid says this war is lost and it's plastered across the front page next to the rebuttal "Democrats Don't Support the Troops"! I'd say we have alot more on our plate than one stupid attorney general.
Hey, at least he's going to bat for "our kids" and against the greatest evil of all - pornography in Las Vegas. Because God knows, the problem in our country is our lack of morals. And because God knows, when you gotta find out really good intelligence information fast, it's best to torture the soldier you just captured.
Please. He'll be given a raise and a promotion before this story fades like all the rest.
