- Former President George W. Bush: What will he do next?
  Posted by srpr from Scholarsandrogues.wordpress
  At noon on January 20, 2009, George W. Bush will become a former president of the United States. Assuming they live, he will join former presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and his father in a unique fraternity. He will be 62. He is a relatively young man in good physical health. He will be capable of a vigorous life as a former president. He is not considered an intellectual. What will he do for the next three decades?

- Nixon library's changes start with Watergate - Los Angeles Times
  Posted by Jeff from Los Angeles Times
  Venturing into that room, visitors learned that Watergate, which provoked a constitutional crisis and became an enduring byword for abuses of executive power, was really a "coup" engineered by Nixon enemies. The exhibit accused Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein — without evidence — of "offering bribes" to further their famous coverage.

  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The CIA’s release Wednesday of a nearly 700-page, previously classified set of documents known within the agency as the “family jewels” has served to spotlight rampant state criminality in Washington that continues to this day.

- Woodward questions Thompson role in Watergate.
  Posted by theangryindian from Think Progress
  Former senator Fred Thompson was the Senate Watergate Committee’s chief minority counsel in 1973 and 1974, and is often credited with asking a question during the Watergate hearings “that led to the disclosure of the fact that President Nixon had installed recording devices in the Oval Office.” But in an online chat yesterday, Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward disputed this history: The veteran journalist, whose early reporting was instrumental in uncovering the scandal, said th

- George McGovern: I expect Bush and Cheney to Resign
  Posted by Jeff from Los Angeles Times
  It is my firm belief that the Cheney-Bush team has committed offenses that are worse than those that drove Nixon, Vice President Spiro Agnew and Atty. Gen. John Mitchell from office after 1972. Indeed, as their repeated violations of the Constitution and federal statutes, as well as their repudiation of international law, come under increased consideration, I expect to see Cheney and Bush forced to resign their offices before 2008 is over.

Strange times indeed.

Here’s hoping that remembering this little piece of history will help keep us from repeating it (or, more accurately, repeating it again).

No big surprise that there isn’t an iota of outrage in the United States about this.
