  How Did Patrick Fitzgerald Become the U.S. Attorney in Charge of the TreasonGate Investigation?
  A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
  It’s perhaps a good time to ask that question, as we will learn this week if there will be indictments and, if so, how many of them there will be.
  How did an administration so good at establishing investigations and commissions that whitewashed its lies and incompetence end up with a prosecutor it doesn’t seem able to squash like a bug? Heck, after turning FEMA over (…)

  Plamegate: The Republican Big Lie
  Hinderaker’s Folly
  Special to Crooks and Liars by Larry Johnson If ignorance is bliss, then John Hinderaker is one happy fellow when it comes to talking about Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame. According to Hinderaker, who was appearing on Howard Kurtz’s CNN show about the media, he trots out once again the big lie of Republican talking points by claiming that Joe Wilson lied in his July 2003 op-ed. Hinderaker says that Wilson, "reported to the CIA (…)

  By Robert Kuttner
  THE UNITED Autoworkers union has agreed to save General Motors over a billion dollars a year in health insurance costs. This is a disguised pay-cut, since workers will now pay more out of pocket for their healthcare.
  The union agreed to this desperation deal to help keep GM alive. The once-dominant auto-maker posted a record $1.1 billion loss in the third quarter; and its former parts division, Delphi, with 34,000 union jobs, has just gone into bankruptcy. If and when (…)

  A Natural Inspiration
  Just for a moment, can we all jump ahead, say one or two years from now, into what could be a very real scenario. The draft has been reinstated. Our sons and daughters are faced with the choice of going to war or jail. Parents are in shock. They can’t believe this has happened to their very own. Shock turns to anger and confusion. Their former lack of concern and awareness of their government’s imperialistic agenda is starting to become the biggest mistake of their (…)

  Hardball’s pattern of misinformation and imbalance on CIA leak case
  In recent months on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Matthews, coverage of the investigation into the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame has offered a clear pattern of misinformation by host Chris Matthews and his guests. Further, on numerous occasions, Hardball’s panels of guests who discussed the issue have skewed right — solely composed of Republicans, prominent conservatives, and journalists or political figures with no (…)

  by Ray Boyd (28 Sept, 2005) The premier online money manager is a big bad corporation with big bad law enforcement complex... and they’re going after marijuana drug-related businesses and you.
  There it is, on the e-commerce websites of people selling bongs, cannabis seeds, weighing scales, hydroponics equipment, and cannabis cultivation books. It’s on the websites of marijuana advocates, left-wing activist groups, environmental organizations, gun dealers, and Bible wholesalers.

  Theories about Russian agents steering Hurricane Katrina may be off base, but research into weather manipulation has been going on for decades
  Pssst. Have you heard? Hurricane Katrina was intentionally steered to hit New Orleans. The Russians — a clique of KGB secret-police hardliners who took over a secret weather-control weapon developed for the old Soviet military — did it. In fact, according to retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Bearden, they’ve been dickering with U.S. weather (…)

• Stop the madness

  To the Editor:
  Is this for real?
  Frist is investigated for the same thing Martha Stewart did time for. Delay is indicted. Now the Bush crime family has nominated a loyalist woman who has never been a judge to the Supreme Court.
  Please Republicans, take your party back and stop the madness.
  If Clinton had made decisions like this, he would have been brought up for impeachment and the firing squad.
