    He’s been called Elliot Ness. He certainly has treated the Bush administration as if they were untouchable. The CIA Leak Case is no more. It’s the wreck of St. Patrick Fitzgerald .
    Questions for Mr. Fitzgerald
    1) Judge Tatel was presented hard evidence that the Bush administration had engaged in a national security crime that constituted a "breach in the public trust". Why has the Office of Special Counsel refused to perform it’s solemn duty to prosecute these crimes ?
    2) Is (…)

    A Bush Spy Hearing in Congress? by Rep Louise Slaughter Mon Dec 19, 2005 at 04:57:07 PM PDT
    First, please only recommend this diary if you think others should see the information I’m posting.
    I wanted to share with you an email I sent out to my supporters all across the country tonight. Just like all of you here I am outraged about the reports of President Bush’s authorization of eavesdropping on American citizens. Unfortunately, we are all too numb to an Administration — which has (…)

  • Bush aware of illegal behavior "A wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed"

    So the first thing I want you to think about is, when you hear Patriot Act, is that we changed the law and the bureaucratic mind-set to allow for the sharing of information. It’s vital. And others will describe what that means.
    Secondly, there are such things as roving wiretaps. Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires-a wiretap requires a court order. Nothing has changed, by the way. When we’re talking about chasing down (…)

    Congressman calls for Bush impeachment
    U.S. Rep. John Lewis said Monday in a radio interview that President Bush should be impeached if he broke the law in authorizing spying on Americans.
    The Democratic senator from Georgia told WAOK-AM he would sign a bill of impeachment if one was drawn up and that the House of Representatives should consider such a move.
    Lewis is among several Democrats who have voiced discontent with Sunday night’s television speech, where Bush asked Americans to (…)

  • Bush Attempted to Talk New York Times Out of Running Illegal Spying Story

    Dec. 19, 2005 - Finally we have a Washington scandal that goes beyond sex, corruption and political intrigue to big issues like security versus liberty and the reasonable bounds of presidential power. President Bush came out swinging on Snoopgate-he made it seem as if those who didn’t agree with him wanted to leave us vulnerable to Al Qaeda-but it will not work. We’re seeing clearly now that Bush thought 9/11 gave him license to act like a dictator, or in his own mind, no doubt, like Abraham (…)

  • BUSH FOOLS AMERICANS BY APPEARING TO ACCEPT MCCAIN’S BAN ON TORTURE

    By Evan Augustine Peterson III, J.D. December 16 , 2005
    In Washington politics, things are seldom what they appear to be - especially when devious Machiavellians are running the White House. And we often end up getting a fairy-tale version of reality because the USA’s government-corporate-media complex prefers to ignore unpleasant-but-true stories while it promotes pleasant-but-false stories.
    For instance, the mainstream media is burying a major Bushite deception right now, so as to (…)

  • Democratic senator says Bush violated law with wiretaps: He is a president, not a king
    19 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    From a release issued to RAW STORY by Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) in response to President Bush’s admission Saturday that the president personally authorized wiretaps of individuals who emailed or phoned other countries.
    “Yesterday morning, Republican and Democratic Senators blocked a flawed bill that extended parts of the Patriot Act that are set to expire without fixing the fundamental problems with the law. Nobody wants these parts of the Patriot Act to expire — we want to fix them before (…)

  • Osama, Saddam? What’s in a name?
    19 December 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -
    With a slip of the tongue, U.S. President George W. Bush briefly turned Osama bin Laden into Saddam Hussein on Monday.
    Bush momentarily switched the names of his two greatest nemeses in a news conference at the White House where he was defending his decision to authorize eavesdropping on Americans suspected of links with al Qaeda and other organizations in the U.S. war on terrorism.
    "In the late 1990s, our government was following Osama bin Laden because he was (…)

    (Berkeley, California) - December 18, 2005 - Well, what do you know about that?
    Bush’s radio speech Saturday, December 17, 2005, of course. It will be proclaimed as the same thing of one of the moves Hitler made in Germany to strengthen corporatist Nazi Germany. Yes, it is that big of a deal.
    We [Leftists] have all said, time and time again, that "someone" has to tell the people, or we will be (…)

    What more does anyone need? You do not negotiate with the devil. If the U.S. won’t act, maybe the world court will indict this rogue administration for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and violation of human rights and the Geneva Convention. How low can this country go? Feingold, time for full-court press. johnnybgood
