  • Court nominee lets Rove hide in back pages.
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Barring disclosure that he is a closet transvestite with a penchant for setting fire to nursing homes, John Roberts appears certain to be confirmed as an associate justice of the U. S. Supreme Court. But even if he should fail, he will still have performed yeoman service for the Cheney/Bush administration.
    DAVID ROSSIE Commentary
    By agreeing to have his name put forward to replace Sandra Day O’Connor on the high court, Roberts enabled the embattled Karl Rove to escape from our television (…)

  • OUTING PLAME...

    OUTING PLAME....Two years ago, when the Valerie Plame affair first surfaced, the conservative response was largely one of yawning silence. Still, the conservatives who did speak up mostly conceded that, yes, if someone in the White House exposed the identity of a CIA agent, it was a bad thing to do. And if it was done as part of a political campaign to discredit a critic, it was an especially bad thing to do.
    During the past month, however, the growing evidence that someone in the White (…)

    No More Pardons for Traitor-gate Criminals
    Convicted Previously of National Security Crimes, Elliott Abrams Joins Rove and Libby as Latest Figures Newest Figure in Traitor-gate
    Did you know that Elliot Abrams, pardoned by the first President Bush for the Iran-Contra crimes he committed under the Reagan Administration, now works for the Bush White House? And has been implicated in the leak of Valerie Plame’s covert identity?

    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    This is a continuing series focusing on the findings on the "uranium from Africa" issue in the whitewash Senate Report - the report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI). [Previous parts: Introduction, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 3A-1, Part 3A-2, Part 3A-3].
    In this part we get to one of the most whitewashed aspects of the Senate Report - the forged Niger documents and the CIA/Bush administration narrative about it. (Note that all bold/highlighted text is my emphasis). (…)

  • BEARING WITNESS: Un-embedded Iraq war journalist’s tour hits San Diego
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    It’s a humid summer day in Houston, but, as he drives around town, Texas native Dahr Jamail’s mind is thousands of miles away. Temporarily back from Iraq, where he works as an un-embedded reporter, Dahr Jamail spoke to CityBeat from somewhere on a Texas expressway.
    “It’s weird being back,” he said, “especially being in a country that has invaded another and is currently occupying it.
    “It’s surreal. I miss Iraq.”
    Jamail, who went from mountain climbing in Alaska to a freelance career (…)

    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Kevin Benderman’s court martial starts tomorrow - Thursday, July 28. More funds are needed to pay for his legal defense.
    He is taking a stand for peace, and against an illegal war. By filing as a Conscientious Objector, and refusing re-deployment to Iraq, his case will set a precedent for hundreds if not thousands who want to do what he has done, but hesitate to do so.
    There are two ways to support his defense - a non-tax deductible donation, or a tax deductible donation to his legal (…)

  • Rove’s Backers Use "CounterSpy Defense" in CIA Leak Case - Video
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    We speak with veteran investigative journalist Robert Parry, who writes that Karl Rove’s defenders are rebutting accusations about the White House aide’s leaking of a CIA officer’s identity by using an argument that parallels a rationale cited by leftists who defended CounterSpy after a CIA officer exposed by the magazine in 1975 was gunned down in Greece. More than two dozen Democratic senators on Monday asked Congress to investigate the White House leak of undercover CIA operative Valerie (…)

  • Karl "Benedict Arnold" Rove Supports Candidate Who GOP PAID to Run for Lt. Governor of Maryland
    28 July 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
    Well, the GOP is temporarily succeeding at making treason appear normal and fully acceptable when the national security is damaged by a Republican. Because Republicans are "good people" who betray the country out of divine inspiration, not malice.
    So Karl Rove spent the evening of July 26th at a fundraiser for Michael Steele, the African American Lt. Governor of Maryland, who the GOP is hoping will siphon off enough black votes in the next Governor’s election to (…)

    BILL O’REILLY IN DRAG
    By William Fisher
    Michelle Malkin, sometimes known as Bill O’Reilly in drag, opened one of her recent syndicated rants with this question:
    “Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Civil-liberties activists, anti-war organizers, eco-militants and animal-rights operatives are in a fright over news that the nefarious FBI is watching them. Why on earth would the government be worried about harmless liberal grannies, innocent vegetarians, unassuming rainforest lovers and other ‘peaceful (…)
