    MUSLIM SCHOLAR GROUP TO ISSUE FATWA AGAINST TERROR
    An American-based organization of Muslim scholars is issuing a formal ruling, or fatwa, condemning terrorism and forbidding Muslims from cooperating in any way with those who perpetrate terror. The Fiqh Council of North America is an association of Islamic scholars that interprets Islamic law for American Muslims. As a formal opinion of religious law, the fatwa goes beyond any statements condemning terror that have been issued by (…)

  • Departing Iraq - The Failed Adventure - It’s being tossed on history’s trash heap
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    June 30, 2005, was the peak of neocon delusion. On that day American Enterprise Institute neocon Karl Zinsmeister posted his article on the AEI online site titled: "The War is Over, and We Won."
    No sooner than Zinsmeister put delusion to paper than US military commanders reported escalating and more sophisticated insurgency attacks. Casualties exploded with more deadly bombings, giving meaning to Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld’s projection of a 12-year war. The Congressional Budget Office (…)

    Bush Flips Out
    What incredibly infantile behavior from the President of the United States. He has no respect for the office. All class!

  • KARL ROVE, MICHAEL LEDEEN SPIES PROCURED FORGED NIGER DOCUMENTS
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    3 comments

    Karl Rove’s only full-time foreign-policy advisor is Michael Ledeen, a rabid anti-Arab, pro-Israel activist. The FBI is investigating Ledeen for procuring forged documents (shown here) on nonexistent WMD, which George Bush used to justify his war on Iraq. When Joseph Wilson exposed the farce, Rove helped "out" Wilson’s CIA wife. Did Ledeen procure the documents for Rove, and how might he have done that? The story includes multinational stool pigeon Rocco Martino, Italian spy Francesco (…)

  • Rove scandal merits scrutiny
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    I’d like to request that you as editor of the Rutland Herald and your staff keep your eye on the ball in the next weeks as the Karl Rove scandal continues to unfold. This is, in my opinion, the most important story in a decade.
    This story comes at a time when news organizations will be challenged to keep telling the truth. There are those who will try to distract us and dismiss this story as "old news." Your readers don’t think so. We count on you to tell the truth and consider the (…)

  • Dean: How Far Will They Go? CIA Told Novak That Rove’s Story Was Wrong
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    According to the Washington Post, columnist Bob Novak was told by the CIA’s spokesperson that Karl Rove’s story was wrong. Wilson was not sent by his wife to Niger and she was still a covert agent whose name should not be disclosed. [Washington Post, 7/27/05] Nevertheless, Novak still disclosed the agent’s name and went with Rove’s story.
    "How far will the Bush smear machine go?" said Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean. "Novak knew all this and still published his story. (…)

  • Derail Scandal Train

    The Rove Scandal Train is picking up momentum. Just ask Scottie McClellan, who is starting to look more and more like Ron Ziegler with every passing press briefing.
    Actually, two separate Rove trains have left the station (and, no, this isn’t going to be one of those old algebra problems they used to give us): the legal train and the political train - heading along two very separate tracks.
    But it’s now clear that the White House damage-control team has decided to try to link the two. (…)

  • Gonzales Says He Told Card About CIA Probe
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Summary:
    Attorney General and former White House counsel Alberto Gonzales has admitted that he told White House chief of staff Andrew Card about the impending Justice Department investigation into the Valerie Plame leak a full 12 hours before he directed his staff to secure any materials related to the case. This introduces the very plausible scenario of Card informing Karl Rove and others ahead of time, giving them the opportunity to “prepare” for the investigation.
    White House does not (…)

  • At the GOP School for Scandal, Monica trumps Rove

    You hear it at least once a week: The plaintive moan of a fellow American befuddled by our nation’s odd sense of priorities. It comes out this way: “I can’t believe they tried to impeach Clinton for Monica and yet this gets nothing!”
    “This” being, among other things, the WMDs, the Iraq invasion, 25,000 Iraqi civilians dead, Halliburton’s theft of American tax dollars, Bush family connections to Saudis or cartels, the plundering of the environment, armor and supplies for fighting (…)

    The Source Beyond Rove
    By ROGER MORRIS Former NSC staffer
    "We don’t want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."
    It was September 2002, and then-National Security Advisor, now-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was fastening on CNN perhaps the most memorable and frightening single link in the Bush regime’s chain of lies propagandizing the war on Iraq. Behind her carefully planted one-liner with its grim imagery was the whole larger hoax about Saddam Hussein possessing or about to (…)
