A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
by Kevin
BuzzFlash,
According to Merriam-Webster, Omertà is the code for a way of life employed chiefly among members of the criminal underworld that enjoins private vengeance and the refusal to give information to outsiders.
It seems that the Sopranos are not even in the same league as this Administration.
Whenever there is a problem such as the truth about this Administration's high crimes and misdemeanors about to break, Consigliore Rove whispers into the ear of "Don" (Little Dick) Cheney who growls "bring me their head" to his personal Hit Men: (Knife) Novak, (Baby Face) Brit Hume, or (Fats) Limbaugh. These accomplished character assassins are then unleashed upon the squealer as in the case of the true patriot Ambassador Joseph Wilson.
The head of the Five Families, the Boss of Boss's, "Don" Bush, has set up a Chinese wall of security in which nothing gets out. This latest invocation of the Code of Silence is in regard to the 9/11 commission's attempt to get at the truth by examining "Don" Bush's daily Briefs in the days prior to 9/11. We are told now only redacted copies will be presented to a select few (republican?) commissioners who can take notes but will have to submit those notes for editing. What a charade.
Hillary Clinton bravely stood before the world with a newspaper in hand to proclaim -- "HE KNEW" -- in the days following 9/11 and the Hit Men attacked her. "What did the president know and when did he know it" was a famous line from the last crime wave to hit the White House. Well, Mr. Bush, now is your chance to give us your alibi, go ahead, stand before us and tell us "I am not a crook". What are you afraid of? Anyone who abides by The Good Book knows that the truth shall set you free. The American people will give you a fair hearing.
