Dear Editor: There are those who would have us continually proclaim to the world that the United States is the best and greatest nation and that it is our duty to bestow our blessings upon all other peoples.
No other nation, they proclaim, is as free, wealthy, innocent, compassionate, able or well-meaning as ours. Life in these United States, they declare, is better than in any other place in the world.
There is a lot in these claims with which most of us agree.
However, most patriots (…)

19 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
By Edward Alden in Washington Financial Times October 25 2003
The Bush administration’s exposure of a clandestine Central Intelligence Agency operative was part of a campaign aimed at discrediting US intelligence agencies for not supporting White House claims that Saddam Hussein was reconstituting Iraq’s nuclear weapons programme, former agency officials said yesterday.
In a rare hearing called by Senate Democratic leaders, the officials said the White House engaged in pressure and (…) -

By Peter Fredson
July 19, 2005
Amidst the world news reports yesterday was a minor item regarding White House flip flops. This is not the usual political flip-flopping of George Bush, as that is no longer newsworthy.
No, this is about nine women of the Northwestern Wildcats Lacrosse sports team who were invited to a photo-op with President Bush. It was a formal occasion. They were beautifully dressed in colorful skirts, dresses and pearls but they wore (…) -

Corruption: Falling away from or not returning to the first principle

1 comment“I am a philanthropist by character,” wrote Washington to the Marquis de Lafayette, “and a citizen of the great republic humanity at large.” Washington to Lafayette, August 15th, 1786.
Principle - the basic truth on which all truths depend, in a republic is virtue. Returning to principles has always been the saving grace of republics, but what kind of republic are we talking about. As an American author who loves France for many reasons, I question why there is not much respect for our (…) -

19 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
By PETE YOST
WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney’s top aide was among the sources for a Time magazine reporter’s story about the identity of a CIA officer, the reporter said Sunday.
Until last week, the White House had insisted for nearly two years that vice presidential chief of staff Lewis Libby and presidential adviser Karl Rove were not involved in the leaks of CIA officer Valerie Plame’s identity.
The White House refused last week to repeat those assertions when it was (…) -

by Paul Harris in Washington
It was a question the White House press corps once believed unthinkable. Has President George W Bush lost confidence in his political guru, Karl Rove? If simply posing the question was a surprise last week, the answer - or, more accurately, the lack of one - was an even greater shock.
When Bush faced reporters at the White House last Wednesday, he dodged questions on (…) -

Editorial: Dump Rove / The investigation moves closer to the president
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
As the Valerie Plame case becomes increasingly the Karl Rove case, and as the rising water of it begins to lap closer to President Bush, there are several truths about this matter that are worth keeping in mind.
1. In the very beginning Mr. Bush said that it was unlikely that the leaker would ever be found. There is every reason to believe that he would then have taken steps to make that (…) -

Public Catching On To Dirty Deeds

5 commentsPublic Catching On To Dirty Deeds Bill Gallagher July 19, 2005 Detroit - Lying and denying, kicking and screaming, the Busheviks are defending comrade Karl Rove from the enemies of the state who are attacking him. We now have the "smoking gun" evidence that Rove was involved in the sordid scheme to "out" CIA officer Valerie Plame. Retribution, a quintessential Rove political weapon, brought him to expose Plame and risk national security in the process to get back at her husband, former (…)
