    • Fitzgerald to Seek Indictment of Rove

      Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out

      Despite vehement denials by his attorney who said this week that Karl Rove is neither a "target" nor in danger of being indicted in the CIA leak case, the special counsel leading the investigation has already written up charges against Rove, and a grand jury is expected to vote on whether to indict the Deputy White House Chief of Staff sometime next week, sources knowledgeable about the probe said Friday afternoon.

    • McCarthy says she didn't leak on prisons, but who said that she did?

      Posted by Damianmann from Salon

      Did reporters simply make the leap from hearing the charge that McCarthy talked to Priest -- a reporter who has written lots of stories about lots of things over the years -- to concluding that she was Priest's source on the prisons story? Or did the "intelligence sources" who talked to reporters leave them with such an impression intentionally in order to make it look like the agency was making progress in its investigation into the prisons leak or to embarrass an employee who once worked for Bill Clinton and gave money to John Kerry?

    • Lawyer: Rice Allegedly Leaked Defense Info

      Posted by Damianmann from Washington Post

      Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense information to a pro-Israel lobbyist in the same manner that landed a lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence, the lobbyist's lawyer said Friday. Prosecutors disputed the claim.

    • Iraq, Vietnam, and the Bloodbath Theory

      Posted by Damianmann from History News Network

      By now we have all seen the analogies drawn between the present war in Iraq and the war in Vietnam decades ago. Some of these analogies have been insightful. Some, to put it charitably, have not. Nearly all, however, have focused on how the United States entered and fought both wars. Little attention has been heeded to what the Vietnam war might tell us about the United States getting out of this one. It is an issue that deserves our attention.

      Greg Palast: Gangster Government -- A Leaky President Runs Afoul of "Little Rico"

      Posted by Damianmann from Buzzflash

      OK, let's accept the White House alibi that releasing Plame's identity was no crime. But if that's true, they've committed a bigger crime: Bush and Cheney knowingly withheld vital information from a grand jury investigation, a multimillion dollar inquiry the perps themselves authorized. That's akin to calling in a false fire alarm or calling the cops for a burglary that never happened -- but far, far worse. Let's not forget that in the hunt for the perpetrator of this non-crime, reporter Judith Miller went to jail.

    Mercenary Outfit Send Mass Email Offering Positions in the Wake of Gustav

    One of the many tragedies of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina three years ago was the fact that insurance companies used the event to systematically deny claims, leaving victims further in desperate straits. That shouldn’t happen following any natural disaster, and even though the immediate storm effects did not cause as much damage as predicted, there are sure to be plenty of claims for flood damages throughout the Midwest and along Gustav’s path. If you or someone you know has been denied an insurance claim related to Gustav: http://www.gustav-insurance-claim-denials.com/ that would be a site you should visit.

    Black Accountability Project: DNC Color Divide

    Yeah, especially if you are meaning still working within your political system although we don’t want to.  I can think of several.

    You could start with the U.S. must offically apologising for American Aboriginal genocide and than make the necessary changes to the educational system to wash out the colonial propaganda clotting American hearts and minds.  Second, ALL of First Nations-U.S. are to be honoured and without undue delay.  Next, the United States is to offically apologise for chattle slavery, genocide and systematic institutional racial bias.  The U.S. must then return full sovereignty to Puerto Rico, Guam, the Dominican Republic, the Philippines and promise to not try and re-take the island of Cuba.

    Following all that there would need to be a restructuring of the entire political system and the acceptance of multiple parties including revamping the voting system without the Electoral College.

    Without the former list of suggestions, the latter half is only cosmetic.  Just my opinion.

    If my vote counted, Florida 2000 would have been addressed.  It still hasn’t.  I’m still not convinced.  Sorry.

    It’s a strange thing because aboriginals DESERVE to be involved and respected.

     

    I know the real history and it makes me sick. I’ve read Zinn. I’ve been on "Indian" reservations and seen the sqaulor. It’s shameful. This land is THEIR land…we ( not me literally…as I’m Irish American and my relatives served as indentured servants ) are robbers. The real criminals are long dead. The modern white is ignorant to the facts…But, they DO benefit from these crimes.

    But, again, NOT voting gives them more power …and they thank you for not voting…as they thank the millions of others… who…if they voted, could remove them from power…

    It’s that or violent revolution…which is fine with me. Apathy gets people nowhere…

    except in the case of the government. It gets them everywhere ….and everything.
