Can we use the "C" word yet?
The media has poisoned this word as badly, or worse than they poisoned the word "liberal". But there really is such a thing as a Conspiracy. And sometimes they happen. And is there another word that we can use that hasn't been pre-emptively struck?

(I consider them a Crime Syndicate, but it doesn't come close to express the damage they have done.)

1. Absolutely...
Go check out what I wrote about this at:

http://www.brainshrub.com\president-wiretap

"Listening in without a warrant isn't just impolite, it's a felony".

Bush violated not only the FISA act but also by colluding with others in committing an offense against the gov't he also violated the Federal conspiracy laws and by hiding it he violated Federal obstruction laws. It's all very clear black and white law and he even confessed on national TV. The penalties are very severe and there are literally thousands of separate counts that can be brought. He'll be out in 15,000 years with time off for good behavior. ;-)

2. There was a conspiracy, IMHO.
I tried to show this morning, but the thread died.

With Spygate.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051217/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_nsa_25

The official said that since October 2001, the program has been renewed more than three dozen times. Each time, the White House counsel and the attorney general certified the lawfulness of the program, the official said. Bush then signed the authorization.


Looks like a conspiracy to commit a crime to me.

Another C word we might be able to use soon with regard to Bushco and the 2000 election = "coup".

4. A conspiracy..
Generally a conspiracy only requires that two or more people are conspire together to commit a criminal act and at least one of them commits an overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, then the crime of conspiracy has been committed.

In this case Bush gave an illegal order and at least one person followed that order knowing it was illegal so - conspiracy will be pretty easy to prove.

There is a specific definition for a conspiracy under federal code:
