(62,325 posts)as if finally, the whole criminal organization, the secret government, the lies about war, ALL OF IT, might finally be ended. But that didn't happen, and I don't need any links to remember the details.
Cheney and Rove were most definitely implicated.
'Agita', is that what respecting the rule of law is now?? Conyers had his wife attacked, remember? And it is clear that ANYONE, Snowden eg, Greenwald the most recent, who dares to expose the crimes, will be smeared, they even PAY for it as we discovered thanks to Anonymous. Or worse. Rove has had people railroaded into JAIL, while that little weasel remains free.
Your anger is so misdirected it is stunning. And those who dismiss these crimes are complicit in their escape from justice. But that is changing, thankfully, even Republicans, and there were more than we knew at the time, are not willing to betray their country for 'partisanship'. Kudos to them for putting their country first.
They WERE stupid. They did not 'cover their tracks', they were PROTECTED and not just by one party. Otoh, knowing now that all of them were under surveillance it's hard to blame them for 'keeping their mouths shut' after seeing what was done to those who did not. And until there is unity and some people STOP excusing and/or dismissing all of these crimes, hundreds of thousands of HUMAN BEINGS have been slaughtered due to their criminal lies. If THAT can be dismissed so lightly, there is no hope for this country. But it isn't being dismissed, not by people with integrity and morality many of them former supporters of Bush, but far more loyal to their country.
So keep on attacking the wrong people, which you appear to do constantly for some reason. Meantime as the numbers of people who WILL NOT excuse them grows and as more Whistle Blowers emerge, and they will I am certain, it is going to be more and more difficult to try to 'explain' it all away. There is no statute of limitation on murder, and Iraq was murder and sooner or later as history shows, even the most powerful have finally been brought to justice. When you create so very many victims, the odds are that justice will be done on their behalf.
See South America and our former dictator allies down there. It took a few decades but the victims' loved ones never gave up and some of the most powerful are now sitting in prison with lots of time to contemplate how, since they were so smart they thought, and powerful, did they so miscalculate the yearning for justice.
