Your Choice: Peace and Security or Orwellian Nightmare

"...we escape from the trap that the terrorists have set us...Only by recognizing that the war on terrorism cannot be won by waging war. We must, of course, protect our security; but we must also correct the grievances on which terrorism feeds....Crime requires police work, not military action." -- George Soros

What I sent to the newspapers today:

Placing Party before Country.

When scraping for justification to go to war with Iraq, the Bush Administration used a phony story alleging that Iraq attempted to obtain Nuclear Materials from Niger. They used forged documents (one of which was on 20-year-old letterhead but dated October 2000, and even had the "signature" of an official who hadn't been in office for 14 years). The former U.S. Ambassador to Niger, Joe Wilson, went to Niger to investigate, then "blew the whistle" on this scam.

In retaliation, and possibly to put a smokescreen around the issue, Karl Rove in another one of his classic devious acts, leaked the identity of "Wilson's Wife", (Valerie Plame), an undercover CIA agent, to the Press. This disclosure, which is in direct violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act of 1982, put Valerie Plame and any and all of her contacts in danger, it wasted 20-odd years of intelligence-network development around a covert agent, it blew countless sums of our taxpayer money, and it betrayed the National Security interests of the United States.

(Acting) President Bush, Anxious to go to war and gain "Political Capital" (Bush said in 1999, "My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it... If I have a chance to invade, if I had that much capital, I'm not going to waste it. I'm going to get everything passed that I want to get passed...) ignored the warnings of his advisors not to use the flawed "Niger Uranium" story in his State of the Union Address, and lied to Congress and to the People of the United States of America on January 28, 2003, saying, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

Someone seems to have forgotten that we pay these people to serve the United States of America, NOT just the Corporatist, Federalist "Republican" Party.

All eyes of the nation should be squarely on Washington. Why have none of the goose-stepping, complicit "Republicans" in our legislative branch demanded that the acting President be held accountable for the treasonous acts he committed in order to get us into a war for his own political purposes? This is outright dereliction of duty on the part of all those legislators.

Also, why has the acting President AGAIN not kept his word and fired Karl Rove for leaking the identity of Valerie Plame, as he said in June, 2004 that he would fire anyone involved in leaking her name?

And YOU. You in the Press. WHY DO YOU KEEP BURYING THESE STORIES? Have you forgotten the crucial responsibility the Press bears in a democracy? Are you as cowardly as the filthy people in Washington who are bent on destroying our republic? I CHALLENGE YOU to do the right thing: to establish your place on the list of those who will be remembered as the ones who SAVED AMERICA at the beginning of the new millennium. HOLD THESE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE!

Stop Karl Rove Cover Up

Hold the acting President to his word. He said he'd fire whoever leaked Plame's identity. Now we know who did.

Rove Outed Valerie Plame?

It's beginning to look like it (sure smells like it):
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000972841

When scraping for justification for going to war with Iraq, the Bush Administration used a phony story about Iraq getting Nuclear Materials from Niger. Our former ambassador to Niger, Joseph Wilson, publicly accused the Administration of using this fake Niger "Yellowcake Forgery".

Then, for some odd reason, Wilson's wife's identity as a covert CIA agent was mysteriously leaked to the press (kind of like mysteriously having your office bugged with fresh batteries so you can accuse your political opponents of doing it... uh... ahem ...). This leak sure smells like retaliation, it put Valerie Plame in Danger, and it betrayed the National Security interests of the United States.

Someone seems to have forgotten that we pay these guys to serve the United States of America, NOT just the corporate aristocrats who have hijacked the Republican Party.
