judith miller - useful idiot

"Why take the chance of leaving your own fingerprints at the scene of the crime, when the Washington press corps continues to be studded with useful idiots like Miller, who would whack their own grandmothers for a byline above the fold."

Michael Ledeen and the forged niger docments

"Before Fitzgerald is done, we'll see the warlords of Washington hauled before   a court of the people. We'll hear the whole sordid story of how a   band of exiles, at   least two   foreign intelligence agencies, and a   cabal of neoconservatives   inside the Pentagon   and the vice president's   office bamboozled Congress and the American people into going to war. As   the indictments come down, so will the elaborate narrative so carefully constructed   by the War Party in the run-up to war be exposed as a tissue of fabrication,   forgery, and fraud."

!!!The Real Judith Miller: CIA or Israeli Intel?

It's been clear for some time who Judith Miller's real employer is. She is NOC CIA. Private citizens, even reporters, do not get attributable access to top-secret, codeword-classified material. Witnessing an actual interrogation brings up a number of security issues: the name and physical description of the subject, unfettered access to the rawest version of the intelligence gained, the codename of the subject, the classified codewords of the project/file, the physical description and worknames of the interrogators, the interrogation methods used, the location of the interrogation facility - and these are just a few. This level of access is usually only available to a case officer - even material classified top secret and higher contains redactions to protect the source of the intelligence. That she regularly gains this level of access makes it clear who her real employer is. Judy Miller is CIA.

Just like Judy "forgot" to mention her connection to dead British scientist Dr David Kelly
http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=941
who sent Miller an email just before he supposedly walked off to kill himself: "Moreover, the email gave no indication that he was either depressed or contemplating suicide. He wrote that he was waiting "until the end of the week" before judging how his appearance before the House of Commons select committee had gone.
The email was sent to American author Judy Miller shortly before he left home for the last time. "
Miller had worked with Kelly previously on a book (!!!) but she mentions neither that nor the email in the article she wrote about his death.
The woman in a willing collaborator with the Bush White House, particularly Doug Feith's group. Her speaking bureau also handles these same worthless jerks.
"Journalist?" Yeah, and my cat can fart show tunes.

criminal conservatives

The only alternative explanation is that the national Republican Party and the branches of government it controls are operating an open kleptocratic conspiracy reminiscent of the Gilded Age. And only shrill people -- those who aren't anti-war, just on the other side -- could believe that explanation.

more on the whitehouse iraq group

Repost from Jan 2004!!!! Gold prices at Highest Rate since before George Bush Sr. left office after he had just sold $10 Billion in U.S. GOLD to foreigners with Saudi connections for only $10,000 (ed: Iran Contra Scandal may still not be over now in 2004)

Bush the Elder’s Scheme to Sell Pardons and Get a Payoff – Where is the Outrage Over a 10 Billion Dollar Taxpayer Ripoff? By Jock Gill for Democrats.com  Bill Clinton wasn’t being either bold or creative in his use of the presidential pardon power. Compared to George Bush Senior’s incredible pardon fiasco, Clinton’s pardon scandal is boring. In his last days as President, Bush Sr. sold U.S. government asset worth $10 billion to a friend for a mere $10 thousand dollars, pardoned his business colleagues, and then went on the company’s payroll for seven years. At the very end of his presidency Papa Bush gave a sweetheart deal to the Canadian company Barrick Goldstrike. They got the rights to US land worth $10 billion in return for a nominal payment to the treasury of $10,000. But that does not seem to be all they got, or all they paid for either. The money behind Barrick is from Saudi arms dealer and Bush family friend Adnan Khashoggi, who was identified as conduit in the Iran-Contra conspiracy. In 1986 he was arrested and charged with fraud but failed to be convicted. In one of his last acts as president Bush pardoned Khashoggi's alleged co-conspirators, who were key members of Bush's own cabinet. As a result, no case could be made against Khashoggi – or against Bush himself. To express its gratitude for these favors Barrick Goldstrike hired Papa right after he left office and donated $148,000 to the Republican Party, at least that is the amount that can be traced. As reported by Gregory Palast this is hugely more consequential for justice than anything presidential pardon before or since, so slowly once again let’s connect the dots: 1] Iran Contra blows up – Special Prosecutor Lawrence Walsh makes good progress at revealing the players and their deeds. 2] Saudi arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi’s role at the center of it all is at risk of being exposed. 3] Bush "sells" $10B in gold rights for $10K to foreigners! -- why would a president accept such a bad deal for his country? This should be dramatic red flag! This incredible amount makes the sellout of the U.S. by some of our spies look like chump change. 4] Bush pardons key players as part of a cover up -- protecting Adnan Khashoggi and others. The obvious question is what was the quid pro quo? 5] Adnan Khashoggi arranges for his puppet, Peter Munk, founder of Barrick Goldstrike, to repay the favor with a lucrative "job" for George Bush. So Khashoggi gets his cover up, Barrick gets its gold mine, Bush gets a high paying no show job, the Republican Party gets a huge contribution from a foreign company and we the taxpayers and law abiding citizens get the shaft. How much of this "deal" was all pre-arranged, scripted and "in the bag" before the selling of the gold rights and the pardons? This also helps explain why the current Bush in the White House wants the stink about Clinton’s pardons to go away! It is simply amazing the press has given Bush Inc. a free ride on this! He must be in terror that somebody will connect the dots and his father's culpability in Iran Contra scandal will leak out. How much longer will these ghosts in the Bush closet remain silently out of sight?

Republicans do a head-fake(all the terror they spewed about all week) and then Pass the Rest of American Democracy to the Oil Industry...TOUCHDOWN!!!

Emotions erupted on the floor of the House of Representatives this afternoon as the right-wing-led Congress held open yet another vote to twist arms and pass a bill that would line the pockets of energy company executives. The House leadership held the five-minute vote open for almost 50 minutes until they could convince three lawmakers — Reps. Wayne Gilcrest (R-MD), C.W. Bill Young (R-FL) and Jim Gerlach (R-PA) — to change their minds. The bill passed 212-210. As the vote concluded, opponents of the bill chanted in unity: “Shame, Shame, Shame!” http://thinkprogress.org/2005/10/07/house-block-vote/

karl rove - next banana republican crook to be busted


                  
I just talked to a source who told me that Karl Rove has been missing from a number of recent White House presidential events - events that he has ALWAYS attended in the past. For example, Rove was absent from yesterday's presidential press conference to promote Harriet Miers. These are the kind of events Rove ALWAYS attends, I'm told, yet of late he's been MIA each and every time

tom delay - poster boy for corrupt government, indicted again

A grand jury in Texas issued a second indictment on Monday against Representative Tom DeLay, accusing the Texas Republican and two aides of money laundering in a $190,000 transaction that prosecutors have described as a violation of the state's ban on the use of corporate money in local election campaigns.
