Bush assault on military emails?

Heard a snatch of Bush’s speech this morning and he was talking about the damaging effects of military getting emails that are against the course of the war.

Methinks he’s once again doing his opposite-talk. What he really doesn’t like is our military getting out the truth about what’s going on right in the field. Is BushCo getting ready to shut down soldiers’ voices?

No, he’s getting ready to censor *our* emails to them.

Seriously, I’m really looking forward to the on-going testimony of these rascals. Every other qualifying statement they make can be added to a long list of replies guaranteed to really frustrate and exhaust the person on the other side of the table during a tax audit.

Weevil car?

Wolfowitz won’t resign. Ditto Gonzales. Bush, Cheney, Rove, not a chance. It’s like your deadbeat brother-in-law along with all his loser buddies camp out in your house sponging off you & won’t leave.

I once had to call the sheriff to get a “friend” out of my house whom I had taken in when he had fallen on tough times..

In Los Angeles County you have to go through an entire eviction procedure if your down trodden friend won’t leave….and God forbid if they have a minor child with them…..it can take forever. But eviction procedures for the White House residents sure sound like a good idea.

The Attorney General has no such power in the Constitution or the {atriot Act. So a better question for the AG is, “why were you so lousy at usurping Presidential Powers in violation of the Constitution and Laws of the United States?” Both the President and the AG should be impeached for allowing underlings to do a job that the Constitution and law mandates they do themselves. I think it a high crime to allow Presidential powers to be usurped by unelected underlings. But, then again, this is a President seeking to rent out his Commander in Chief power for the rest of his term. Why aren’t we screaming bloody murder at the fact that the appointment of a War Czar, (horrible name in a Democracy), is a white flag from Bush? He’s given up and he’s inflicting a coup on the Presidency.</p> Prior to and under the Patriot Act provision sneaked into law in March 2006, it is the President who must decide who serves at his pleasure.

Keep trying. They will have to pick a team of techies and will want to recruit the best. Expertise is highly distributed these days (unlike in my day in 1973 with the Watergate tapes) so they can pick brains from anywhere… Keep trying & Godspeed.

thanks,, but all the digging in the world , will not over come the two party system , Who do not want the truth jest power!
