Or, per TimR above, how’s it all ever going to come out, unless we get a patriot like Deep Throat again. Also, I think too much {9/11 inside job} is becoming so irrefutably known by everyone, they got to saturate the media with more of their filler. I mean when you got a bunch of 20th Century Nixon/Ford cronies, never brought to justice, in an administration with a rich, self-indulgent, criminal, despotic son as its puppet president calling the shots ( when daddy’s buddy would let him know what’s going on ). Old Dick was halfway around the world with his spin, before Alberto VO-5 could get his boots on in the morning in that White House.</p> I think Ari’s ‘getting in the arena’ per what Alex Jones has been calling for.

My belief is that Gonzales’ primary utility is/was his intense loyalty to George W. They go back a quite a ways together, here in Texas.

The positive side… I bet it would not take too much pressure to get Gonzo to talk…

There are, no matter how hard one tries to prevent it, memos, meeting transcripts and many other papers that detail all the crimes committed by the rethugs.

I do believe that the DoJ should be the ones to handle it-use the civil service people not the politicals to do all of it-not a “special prosecutor” due to all of the problems with that office during the Clinton years-the congress rethugs perverted the entire concept of what a special prosecutor should be.<br /> What really pisses me off-and Obama touched on this-is the spineless dems in the senate.
