Bush Admin Soon To Be Under Investigation

[J. Falcon]

Here is the LINK

?The Bush administration overstepped in its exertion of executive privilege, and may very well try to continue to shield information from the American people after it leaves office,? said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, who sits on two committees, Judiciary and Intelligence, that are examining aspects of Mr. Bush?s policies.

Topics of open investigations include the harsh interrogation of detainees, the prosecution of former Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama, secret legal memorandums from the Justice Department?s Office of Legal Counsel and the role of the former White House aides Karl Rove and Harriet E. Miers in the firing of federal prosecutors.

Mr. Bush has used his executive powers to block Congressional requests for executive branch documents and testimony from former aides. But investigators hope that the Obama administration will open the filing cabinets and withdraw assertions of executive privilege that Bush officials have invoked to keep from testifying.

?I intend to ensure that our outstanding subpoenas and document requests relating to the U.S. attorneys matter are enforced,? said Representative John Conyers Jr., Democrat of Michigan and chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. ?I am hopeful that progress can be made with the coming of the new administration.?

Also, two advocacy groups, the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First, have prepared detailed reports for the new administration calling for criminal investigations into accusations of abuse of detainees.

"He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."

My will is not strong enough to be 100% vegetarian, but no one can deny that cutting out red meat can have powerful health benefits.

This stuff is good.

Its possible he said that prior to his involvement but I doubt it.

I'm completely addicted to quotes, so I had to throw one in too (okay, a couple):

Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind. ~Albert Einstein, The World As I See It, 1934

Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him? ~Blaise Pascal, quoted by Tolstoy in Bethink Yourselves

Some about politics...

Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason. ~Author Unknown

George Washington is the only president who didn't blame the previous administration for his troubles. ~Author Unknown

Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. ~Oscar Ameringer

The problem with political jokes is they get elected. ~Henry Cate, VII
