Palast has a marvelous article on
Goodling, the
Justice appointee who sounds more like a fundamentalist bible teacher enforcing
Taliban protocol so no one who thinks outside the Republican fundamentalist box can serve in the "democracy."

This
Monica revealed something hotter,
much hotter, than a stained blue dress. In her opening testimony yesterday before the
House Judiciary Committee, Monica Goodling, the blonde-ling underling to
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and
Department of Justice Liaison to the White House, dropped
The Big One.And the Committee members didn't even know it.[2]
Goodling testified that
Gonzales Chief of Staff, Kyle Sampson, perjured himself, lying to the committee in earlier testimony. The lie:
Sampson denied
Monica had told him about
Tim Griffin's involvement in
caging voters in 2004.
(Gee I wonder if this is the charming "catch and release" fishing term these
Nazis use with illegal immigants?)
The keys: the missing emails and missing link that could send
Griffin and his boss,
Rove, to the slammer for a long, long time.
Kingdom enough for ya?
But what's caging and why is it such a dreadful secret that lawyer
Sampson put his license to practice and his freedom on the line to cover
Tim Griffin's involvement in it? Because it's a felony.
And a big one.
Our
BBC team broke the story at the top of the nightly news everywhere on the planet -
except the USA - only because
America's news networks simply refused to cover this
evidence of the electoral coup de tat that chose our
President in 2004.
...
Here's how caging worked, and along with
Griffin's thoughtful emails themselves you'll understand it all in no time.
The
Bush-Cheney operatives sent hundreds of thousands of letters marked. Do not forward to voters homes. Letters returned (caged) were used as evidence to block these voters right to cast a ballot on grounds they were registered at phony addresses. Who were the evil fakers? Homeless men, students on vacation and you got to love this
American soldiers. Oh yeah: most of them are
Black voters.
Why weren't these
African-American voters home when the
Republican letters arrived? The homeless men were on park benches, the students were on vacation and the soldiers were overseas. Go to
Baghdad, lose your vote. Mission Accomplished.
.... The complete article is at the link referenced in the beginning.
Clearly
American "news" collaborated to withold
criminal evidence from the
American people, blocking truth from PUBLIC airwaves - they too should be tried for war crimes. Instead today,
CNN is showing old film of
Poppy establishing
Fisher House for war vets and the all the people who die for their palaces, and the greed of the few who dare to call themselves elite, when in fact they are the scum of the earth. They are justice jaundiced in the complete and final destruction of the
United States of America. Ah well, this afternoon
CNN will likely play
FLYBOY and we can call be treated to
Poppy bailing for the thousandth time while they forget to mention that two men died while they filmed
Poppy's bailing extravaganza. Interesting that a photographer was following him around.
The
American news media are no longer simply embedded media, they are complicit in blocking the knowledge that the
WORLD views the
USA as a country carrying out an illegal, immoral, occupation of a country that did nothing to the
USA. They have oil, and the
USA has invaded most poor countries who do have oil and driven indigenous people off their land.
The
USA news media are war criminals, complicit in promoting, selling and maintaining an illegal war, and covering up the war crimes of an illegal government. They like the corporations they serve are the most unpatriotic, profit driven monsters of the equation. And cynical, well
Cheney put the "c" in cynical, and one only wishes he would go hunting with more people in this administration. Under the circumstances, in this muted, media of
Bush mimes, it is likely all the justice for which we dare hope.
