O.K. People have been asking for a simple moniker for this very important developing story. I suggest the "Orange Alert Scandal". If we’re lucky — this naming, if it catches on, will hopefully, at the very least, prevent the neocons from using this security system for political purposes ever again. It is looking more and more like Tom Ridge’s leak for GOP political gain during the DNC in July 2004 may have helped the London Bombing occurr.

By Peter Fredson
July 15, 2005
Some years ago, on a cold winter morning, with snow and ice covering the ground, I received a phone call from my neighbor, Chris. He asked if he could borrow my 36-foot aluminum extension ladder. I replied in the affirmative and asked if something needed repair.
He responded that he had heard noises in his attic, and suspected squirrels had gotten in, and were probably chewing up the wiring insulation. He had been able to peer in (…) -
Report Shows Karl Rove May Have Lied to Federal Agents, a Federal Crime, During Oct 2003 Testimony Into CIA Agent Leak

By Jason Leopold
Looks like Karl Rove did break the law, the same federal law that got Martha Stewart sentenced to six months in prison.
It now appears that Rove, President Bush’s chief of staff, may have lied to the FBI in October 2003-a federal crime-when he was questioned by federal agents investigating who was responsible for leaking information about a covert CIA (…) -

KARL ROVE Shows Osama: Bush Can’t Keep Word [w/ cartoon]
14 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
3 commentsPresident Bush promised to fire whomever outted CIA operative Valerie Plame Bush. Karl Rove has been exposed as that person and Bush refuses to fire him. How good is Bush’s word to Osama bin Laden, Kim Jong Il (N. Korea), Hu Jintao (China) — or the American people?
Bush said on February 10, 2004: "There are too many leaks of classified information in Washington. If there’s leaks out of my administration, I want to know who it is, and if the person has violated the law, the person will be (…) -
R. ROVE AND THE ACCESS OF EVIL; Tell Us Your "Source," Judy

Not published in The New York Times
by Greg Palast
Judy, Karl Rove ain’t no "source." A confidential source — and I’ve worked with many — is an insider ready to put himself on the line to blow the whistle on an official lie or hidden danger. I would protect a source’s name with my life and fortune as would any journalist who’s not a craven jerk (the Managing Editor of Time Magazine comes to mind).
But the weasel who (…) -

The Ambassador Strikes Back, Answers to the Right Wing Spin Machine *** A BRAD BLOG EXCLUSIVE ***
Ambassador Joseph Wilson fired back today at the Rightwing Spin Machine, which, having been issued marching orders late yesterday in a set of talking points from the RNC, is once again hoping to distract from the potentially treasonous crimes that George W. Bush’s top political operative and Deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove is being alleged to have (…) -

Ten Step Method To Staging a Terrorist Attack
1) Hire a Crisis Management firm to set up an exercise that parallels the terrorist attack you are going to carry out. Have them run the exercise at the precise locations and at the very same time as the attack. If at any stage of the attack your Arabs get caught, tell the police it was part of an exercise.

ROVEGATE - the Israeli Spying Connection

3 commentsJuly 13, 2005 — ROVEGATE — Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Ken Mehlman has a good reason to come to Karl Rove’s defense. Mehlman’s July 12 RNC talking points memo on Rove and the leak of classified CIA information was not only an attempt to clear Rove but himself as well. When the CIA leak occurred in 2003, Mehlman was the White House political director and he reported directly to Rove, then counselor to the President. Mehlman and Rove were both mentioned in the infamous 2002 (…)

Rove endangered America. Bush leaves this one-man sleeper cell positioned to do it again

Code Rove By Evan Derkacz, AlterNet July,13, 2005
Okay, keep your eye on the ball: Karl Rove endangered America.
But, you’ve been keeping up, reading, watching TV, and you’ve undoubtedly heard (or will hear) that Karl Rove didn’t say the words "Valerie Plame," or he didn’t mean to blow her cover — or was her cover too threadbare to even matter? — or Joe Wilson’s claims weren’t true, or else he was trying to save a reporter from printing a false story, or ...
