Talk about mandatory reading! The article "With One Filing, Prosecutor Puts Bush in Spotlight" by David E. Sanger and David Johnston in yesterday's New York Times was absolutely breath taking. Finally someone in Washington has overcone the failure of imagination and put a narrative and motive behind the criminal and unpatriotic activity of the Bush White House.
Mr. Fitzgerald's filing talks not of an effort to level with Americans but of "a plan to discredit, punish or seek revenge against Mr. Wilson." It concludes, "It is hard to conceive of what evidence there could be that would disprove the existence of White House efforts to 'punish Wilson.' "
"Let justice be done though the heavens fall"
Quite possibly the most unlikley hero in my lifetime Patrick J. Fitzgerald has I think nailed the underlying crime relating to the Vice Presidnet's office and its attempt to discredit Ambassador Joseph Wilson
John Dean & Thomas Paine esque
Ambassador Joseph Wilson, we all know, was guilty of trying to speak truth to enormous power at a very critcial time in the Bush administration's foolish march towards an unwarranted war.
Mr. Fitzgerald concluded, the former ambassador had become an irritant to the administration, raising doubts about the truthfulness of assertions -- made publicly by Mr. Bush in his State of the Union address in January of that year -- that Iraq might have sought uranium in Africa to further its nuclear ambitions...Mr. Fitzgerald suggested that the White House effort was a "plan" to undermine Mr. Wilson
This gives me hope that someday we will see a criminal prosecution of Vice Presidnet Dick Cheney and God willing George W. Bush for high crimes & felonies.
Please keep up the work Mr. Fitzgerald and one day we might fully restore the people's faith in our leaders.
