That would be nice.

The Rove/Gonzales machine telegraphed exactly which investigations they’re most afraid of by firing Carol Lam. They wouldn’t take this risk, IMHO, unless she was pursuing threads that lead to the White House.

So what I would really like to see is a tree diagram or flow chart of where Lam’s investigation was leading — who was implicated and under investigation, and for what, when she had to leave.

I wish I had the knowledge and resources to do this myself, but alas.

Toxic levels of asbestos in air at Gound Zero. As CEO of Halliburton, Cheney purchases Dresser Industries which I believe had tons of asbestos liability. Any connection between Dresser and WTC 1 and 2?

Apologies for OT

As I watched Hank Johnson present his statement about the corporate shame that is NFL Football disability program describing these “Young Warriors that gave their all ” I was struck by why wasn’t this hearing about our other Warriors in Iraq that face a similar future?

From Rawstory:

“At the time he was hemming and hawing over the book deal, Tenet received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Tyler notes, but Tenet insists that’s simply a coincidence.

Tenet wasn’t “clear on what conversations he’d had with members of the Bush family during the 18-month interval between actions,” the article notes.

Former Saudi ambassador Prince Bandar also hyped speculation of a Bush intervention in the publication delay.

“I knew President Bush called him,” Bandar, a close friend of Tenet, told Tyler. “The question is: Was it 41 or 43?”

Why is Bandar throwing the Bush’s and Tenet under the bus?? Bandar knows everything related to the run up to…well…everything.

Bluetoe #53,
Not far-fetched at all, but IMO, won’t happen anytime soon. Thre’s just not any kind of general uprising among the population that would call for that kind of response, and I doubt we’re going to see that many prosecutions to begin with. Not that they aren’t deserved-just that the clock is ticking. Even though Bush’s polls are in the tank, most people I talk to just think he’s a bad President-the degree of criminality involved is missed, except by those paying close attention.
RJH has been writing about Blackwater lately at her site here.

Thanks for the link. I don’t think Blackwater would be in tanks and trucks rolling down Main Street but more along the lines of special ops that target dissents or pols that the right wing fears and detests. After all, these folks are mercennairies. For some it’s just another job. The right wing is definitely in decline but don’t think they will go down without a fight. Does anyone doubt that the Republican Party is not willing to play dirty? Whatever it takes?

Speaking of phones humming… it seems to take forever for the operator to pick up the phone–and senator lugar’s voice mailbox is FULL! (I take this as a good sign because it’s hard to believe all that many people would call to encourage the suspension of habeas corpus.)

Does anyone else have any reports of incoming-line over-usage in Congresscritterville today?

Would LOVE to hear updates, please.

Wordsmith, I didn’t know the evil little Chipmunk was coming to town. Looking for a safe haven, eh?

I see that Grant and Hansen have called for his resignation.

Keep us posted on what he does.

I’m sure it was known in some circles. The function and activities of the two hospitals right here cannot be impeded or interrupted, especially St. Luke’s.
