Huffington and Begala: Expanding the file and making predictions
Edited on Sun Aug-07-05 10:28 AM by understandinglife
The Judy File expands. A well-connected media source e-mailed to say that the most interesting development on the Miller story is coming from inside the Times: "I gather that Doug Jehl, who is a dogged and respected reporter, has been assigned to do an in-house investigative report for the Times and that he is already cutting pretty close to the bone. Several editors he has spoken to are now asking themselves why there wasn't more questioning of whether Miller's silence reflects a fear of incriminating herself rather than betraying a source. I predict this will start to unravel in the next couple of weeks -- if only because the Times is afraid of getting scooped again by outside rivals." A different source within the Times confirmed that Jehl is indeed on the story, having been given the assignment not from New York but from the paper's Washington bureau. And the Plamegate story he filed last week shows that he isn't afraid to step on the toes of his bosses. Stay tuned.

And, a perspective on what we must not tolerate ever happening:

Arianna Huffington, Lawrence O’Donnell and others on this post have done a terrific job of staying on top of every new fact in the Plame-CIA leak case. I, however, want to go beyond the facts and engage in a little conjecture:

George W. Bush will pardon Karl Rove.

I know I’m getting WAY ahead of the facts, but this thing has the smell of a serious legal problem for the Bush Administration. From the outside, Mr. Fitzgerald does not look like a prosecutor who sees wrongdoing but believes it falls short of criminal conduct, like, say, Joe DiGenova did when he investigated allegations that the Bush 41 Administration rummaged Bill Clinton’s passport file.

The Bush team excels at political strategy. They pride themselves on seeing three moves ahead on the chess board. So let us look a few moves ahead as well: ......

From I Predict: Bush Will Pardon Rove by Paul Begala on August 7, 2005

Full essay at the link:

I suggest taking what Mr Begala predicts will be war criminal-in-chief Bush's 'rationale' for pardoning Rove and build a robust debunking, now. Mr Begala has essentially done a fine job of beginning that process -- looking ahead several moves on the 'political chess board.'

Let's make the most of Mr Begala's analysis and show Bush and the neoconsters that their treason, deception, illegal war, torture and crimes against humanity are an evil game that we will bring to an end and punish them for playing.




Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

1. "Gore also made the point that Miller had continued to carry water for ...
... her neocon chums right up until her incarceration. The last articles she wrote before going to jail -- about Kofi Annan and that neocon bugaboo, the UN -- stand as an example of sloppy and slanted journalism that required two Times corrections, one of them an entire article."


Ms Miller is not escaping ever deeper scrutiny and criticism.

Peace.
