Both! The joke is certainly on the the litte soldier. We are supposed to help and donate money to a man who held two high ranking positions and live off of the hog for 5 years whom seek a memory expert to jog his memory when in fact he left notes of the CIA name floating around the White House. I am waiting on a Kenneth Lay's parody website because now he is crying broke!
It would all be a huge joke except it's abuse of power at the highest levels of government, and that is never a joke.
A huge thank you to all the men and women who work so hard to stop the spread of evil. They are our real heroes.
True, true, Kit!
It is abuse of power by the government. It is such a shame that the soldiers, men and women, were put in harm's way by a President who sent them to a war on false pretenses. Yes, a big round of applause of everyday folks who are determine to fight for justice and stop the spread of evil. We need fokks like that to be a true example to others. Libby's website is an absolute joke but it will not be a joke to Libby when he is behind bars!
key word Trust. Now all criminals will start a fund for their guilty.
The joke is on the American people. The little soldier can rob,lie and steal he will still be found guilty and do time for the crimes. Thanks Fitz and staff job well done.
Yes, the keyword is trust. But, remember, Jackie, Dubya twisted the word "trust" the same as the words "terrorist" and "patriotism."
Patriotism means being proud of your country or sacrificing oneself for the country or to help or save others. Bush twisted the word "patriotism" to mean that you are for the President. If you are not, then you label a "terrorist." The American people have been fooled or hoodwinked. People like Libby that robbed from American people will get his in full circle. Remember: embarrassment, scandal, humiliation is what the Adminstration cannot handle and will crumble. That is where it will end for them!
well Fitz I hope you box the little runt in the corner so this silly Defense Fund and his supporters are all trapped in the inimitable 'Check Mate'.
As for Dr Evil a/k/a Cheney and Mini-Me [Rove] same.
For the Evil King: Impeach, embarass. Oh, never mind, he does that quite well on his own.
Perhaps he doesn't have a 'Rosemary' to delete from the video?
He makes us all ill to realize the depth and scope of his lack of compassion for those folks of Katrina-

Folks,
More on Thursday's court hearing with Fitz of the CIA case. Here are excerpts:
Affidavit gives few hints to CIA name leaker
Filing suggests official other than Libby discussed Plame to reporters
WASHINGTON - In a filing Thursday at U.S. District Court in the I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby CIA/Leak case, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald -- in a 19-page affidavit -- offered few clues about the identity of the official or officials involved in the leak of former CIA employee, Valerie Wilson Plame's name to reporters, other than Libby himself.
One paragraph in Thursday’s filing indicates that the un-named official spoke both with Woodward and Novak, "Libby has been given a redacted transcript of the conversation between Woodward and [redacted] and Novak has published an account briefly describing the conversation with his first confidential source [redacted]."

This is why the media has to gain back the trust of the public. And some of the public is swayed away from watching the news and go to the internet to research the truth or go to the blogs. Thanks to Raw Story, guess which newspaper forgot to print that Bush claimed noone anticipated in the levee breaches from the reporting of the pre-Katrina briefing:
Reporting on Bush pre-Katrina briefing, NY Times, Wash. Post, USA Today entirely forgot Bush claim that no one anticipated levee breaches
"Summary: On March 2, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today reported on newly released video footage and transcripts documenting how, on the day before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, President Bush was warned -- and expressed concern -- about the possibility that the levees in New Orleans would be breached by the storm. But none of these reports mentioned that these new tapes further contradict the claim Bush made on ABC's Good Morning America several days after the storm hit that "I don't think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees."

Fitz,
Could you put a new posting up?
1. The Bow-tie man and Chris Matthews are coming out the woodwork on this blog.
2. I am tired of seeing the half-pint's smiling face on those two websites. I would like for you to personally wipe that stupid smirk off his face for good when you indict and put the hand cuffs on the little soldier! Good night to all!
Fitz America is for sale now. Bush is selling America for any price I guess he can give some more money to the little soldier fund. Grandmanuk just relax and watch the show.

When the Whole White House is Criminal,
How Do You Impeach an Entire Administration?
by James Charles
www.dissidentvoice.org
February 27, 2006
In the current issue of The National Review, William F. Buckley calls for the Bush administration to admit that it made a hideous mistake by invading Iraq, writing that “the administration has, now, to cope with failure and the acknowledgment of defeat” of its entire policy from launching the war to believing it could unite and pacify religious enemies whose mutual hatred goes back a millennia, to installing a government that superficially resembles a democracy.
On one hand, when the dean of modern conservative politics says Iraq was a mistake, even the most ideologically driven neo-con must pay attention. On the other, the “failure” and “defeat” he writes about is not simply another “Oops, we goofed!” mea culpa that White House apologists can spin on the Sunday morning interview shows. While cloaking his condemnation in polite Ivy League-ese terms like “postulates” and “mitigation of policies,” Mr. Buckley overlooks one simple fact: No matter how noble a policy of spreading freedom may look on paper, the White House has been criminal in carrying it out.
The dilemma for America is: When the whole executive branch is criminal, how do you impeach an entire administration?
* President Bush knowingly lied to Congress when he certified in writing an immediate threat to the security of the United States mandated the need to use armed force to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein. As has been well documented over the past three years, the administration knew before Bush’s 2003 State of the Union message that there were serious doubts in the intelligence establishment -- the CIA, DIA, State Dept. and Dept. of Energy -- that Saddam had either chemical weapons or a program to build atomic weapons. Lying to Congress is a federal offense, a felony punishable with prison; on its face, it is also a “high crime and misdemeanor” -- an impeachable offence.
* The President knowingly violated both the Constitution and the law by authorizing warrantless wiretapping, eavesdropping and spying on Americans. Likewise, in claiming the power to arrest and hold without charge citizens he has violated the Constitution and his oath of office to uphold that very document. He committed a felony and an impeachable offence.
* Vice President Dick Cheney, armed with an Executive Order he got Bush to sign allowing him to unilaterally declassify information, decided to declassify Valerie Plame’s role in the CIA. He then set about outing her when her husband returned from Niger and wrote a report stating that there was no evidence Iraq was trying to buy yellowcake, a necessary ingredient to make a nuclear weapon. Jason Leopold, who has been covering Plamegate from the start, reported on Feb. 24, 2006, that the White House had just “found” 250 allegedly missing e-mails about Plame and that the Vice President is implicated directly. The e-mails purportedly show Cheney lied to FBI agents about his role in the scandal, itself a federal offence punishable by imprisonment. It also meets the “high crime and misdemeanor” impeachment test.
* Even after being warned by the Navy’s general counsel -- its top lawyer -- that interrogation techniques being used by Americans at Guantanamo were illegal, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld issued an order authorizing what amounts to physical and psychological torture. He has repeatedly denied the Red Cross private access to prisoners despite a treaty which guarantees the agency such access, a treaty which was first written by the United States. Likewise, the FBI warned the Defense Dept. that the interrogation of prisoners it witnessed was violating US law against torture, a warning Rumsfeld ignored. Now, along with the Red Cross, groups including the United Nations, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have condemned the US for violating basic human rights, partly because it keeps secret the names of prisoners being held and partly for abusing the prisoners in custody. Put Mr. Rumsfeld in the dock next to Bush and Cheney.
* While White House counsel, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, with help from ideologue sycophants like former Justice Dept. lawyer and now law professor John Yoo, created a convoluted rationale to support the illegal actions of the Executive Branch. Apparently, Mr. Gonzales never studied the laws written largely by the United States for the Nuremberg trials that judged Nazi war criminals. That code of justice punished jurists who formulated and interpreted laws created to justify criminal acts. There is a special place in court for people like Mr. Gonzales who manipulate the law to countenance criminality.
The list of criminals is seemingly endless.
Colin Powell, a man of otherwise impeccable integrity who devoted his life to the service of his country, knowingly allowed himself to be made the administration’s Knight Errant by trying to convince the world that war was necessary. Lawrence Wilkerson, who wrote Powell’s UN speech and had access to all the intelligence -- not just bits the administration wanted people to hear -- admitted on the PBS public affairs program Now on Feb. 3, 2006: “I participated in a hoax on the American people, the international community and the United Nations Security Council.”
Former CIA director George Tenet knowingly gave the White House select bits of intelligence he knew it wanted as justification for invading Iraq. While National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice knew -- or “should have known,” as lawyers say -- that the pre-war intelligence was being cooked to prop up a shaky case for war and neither objected nor resigned. Don’t forget the Joint Chiefs of Staff who, in 2003, went along with dubious war plans, also without objection or resignation. Or the field generals and senior officers who oversaw not just prison camp torture but waged an indiscriminate war on Iraqi civilians, particularly in Fallujah where white phosphorus shells rained down on innocent men, women and children cowering in their hovels. The website Baghdad Burning, written by a woman living in Iraq, also writes about how US troops break into homes in the middle of the night for no reason while ignoring what she calls “the vicious civil war” being fought on the country’s streets every day.
At home, FBI Director Robert Mueller violates his oath of office by allowing agents to illegally spy on citizens only exercising their constitutional right of protest. Michael Chertoff, who is so incompetent running Homeland Security his behavior borders on criminal, is quietly spending $387 million with a Halliburton subsidiary to construct detention camps at secret locations across America to house up to several hundred thousand people for the undefined “rapid development of new programs.” And don’t forget Karl Rove, who orchestrated the theft of not just one but two presidential elections, new evidence dribbling out now reveals.
The list is long, as depressing as it is frightening.
Yet equally depressing is the silence of Democrats, the news media and ordinary citizens. The Democrats look cowed, the news media is a placid mouthpiece accepting administration talking points, and ordinary citizens are afraid. “Please don’t send me your investigative reporting or political columns by e-mail,” a long-time friend wrote to me by snail mail a few months ago. “I’m afraid it will trigger NSA computers and make me a target.” It took the funeral of Coretta Scott King for even a few people of conscience to “speak truth to the powerful” in the tradition of black churches, saying to Pres. Bush’s face the unpleasant realities that many are thinking.
Democracy in America may not be dead but it is in critical condition.
People who lived through Watergate remember how Richard Nixon tried stealing the Constitution and the crisis he provoked as a result. Yet today, there is a far stealthier, more powerful and darkly insidious effort afoot to undermine and even destroy more than 230 years of American democratic ideals, liberal political thought, and tradition of dissent and debate.
When the huge task of writing the Constitution was finally completed, Benjamin Franklin emerged from the building in Philadelphia where the convention was held to be confronted by a woman waiting word. “What did you give us, Mr. Franklin?” she asked. Franklin laid his hand on her shoulder and replied, “A democracy, madam, if you can keep it.”
The question today remains, as it was in Franklin’s time, can America keep its democracy?

You're busy and that's the good news.
The bad news is: the White House and associated do-no-goodnicks are feverishly trying to outpace you in the spin doctoring, the mud sling and buying off the press.
The omnipresence of lies and lack of accountability within the Administration is seemingly infinitismal...
you have to wonder: are they just plain inept? or just plain evil?
Or a mix?
In any case, the honest toiler day after day, grows angrier and angrier.
Hoping Justice will prevail to hold those accountable for their treasonous acts .. otherwise I too, fear we may have civil unrest.
Damn! That article from James Charles is beautifully written!
Thank you Nexus!

My pleasure!
