We know for certain that BushChaney and their policies have killed over 3000 american servicemen and untold tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of Iraquis.      Aren&#039;t you concerned about this situation in the here and now?   I guess not.  You are so braindead a &quot;moonie&quot; cultist that your brain does not work outside your closed delusional system.

...Walter Williams is the man who designed and directed the setup for the Encampment. Here he is on top of the scaffold securing the banner. Roll Call - a publication that arrived on the desk of every member of congress published this photograph this morning with the following words:

&lt;em&gt;&quot;Walter Williams of New York City helps prepare scaffolding for an anti-war banner as Troops Out Now Coalition sets up a weeklong encampment by the West Front Reflecting Pool on Monday. The group is in Washington to take part in protests marking the fourth anniversery of the start of the war in Iraq.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;

To Protest Meeting of House Appropriations Committee Meeting on War Funding

Thursday, March 15
9 AM in front of Rayburn House Office Building
on Independence Avenue

The House Appropriations Committee will be meeting in the Rayburn Building on Thursday, March 15, at 9:00 AM to &quot;mark up&quot; the legislation approving $100 billion more for the Iraq war.

The Troops Out Now Coalition will be demonstrating in front of the Rayburn Building at 9:00 AM to demand that Congress cut off all funding for the war and bring the troops home immediately. Activists with the Coalition and other organizations participating in the Encampment to Stop the War plan to engage in what they call &quot;creative actions of protest&quot; in front of the Rayburn Building.

Sharon Black, a spokesperson for the Troops Out Now Coalition, said, &quot;It is a crime to spend another penny on this criminal colonial war and occupation in Iraq. If Congress votes for more war funds, then they are voting to continue the war.&quot;

&quot;Sugar-coating the war funding with calls for &#039;phased withdrawal&#039; is no more than a ploy to appease antiwar anger,&quot; continued Black. &quot;A 12 or 18-month withdrawal plan means thousands more dying and being maimed. Congress must cut off the funds and this nightmare now--or the blood of more Iraqis and GIs will be on their hands.&quot;</description>

		<description>It&#039;s Bill Clinton&#039;s fault that Gonzales lied to Congress.  During the previous administration Alberto wasn &#039;t Attorney General so how can it be his fault.  Don&#039;t you guys understand that when ever these guys mess up, they blame Clinton?  The same goes for Scooter Libby, he didn&#039;t do anything wrong, it was Clinton.  The credit for the good and the bad is the responsibility of the Clinton administration.  They&#039;d blame Abe Lincoln if it meant passing the buck.

I think Alberto is doing a great job of destroying any hope of a good legacy for his good buddy Bush.  After all who needs a scandal more than a guy with a 30 percent approval rating?  With friends like Al, who needs enemies?  For once I&#039;d like to see six months go by without a scandal.  They should start taking bets in Vegas on that action.  I&#039;ll take the under, because there&#039;s no way they make six months without the other shoes falling.  Keep up the good work guys, that&#039;s the way to bring creditability back to the WH.  This is the most Ethicallly challenged administration in history.  They make the kremlin look like a bunch of girl scouts.</description>

In the good &#039;ole US of A, bad behavior has consistently been rewarded. So, maybe this guy is in line for a promotion? -heh-
Maybe the &quot;regular folk&quot; in this country have finally opened thier eyes and maybe- just maybe- they&#039;ll push for a punishment that fits the crime. D&#039;ya think?</description>

		<description>Right now, I wish Cheney was President.  At least 50% of the Republican congress hate him.  The Democrats would have more than enough Republican allies to stop the bastard in his war in Iraq and on the constitution and our rule of law!</description>

		<description>Perjury and lying under oath? Oh, God- Say it ain&#039;t so. 
In the Middle East if someone steals, they cut off an arm. If someone commits adultery, they cut off a penis. If someone lies, they cut out the tongue. 
In the good &#039;ole US of A, bad behavior is actually rewarded and it means a promotion. -heh- 
I live in the SW. I say, &quot;Git a rope and hang the varmint&quot;!</description>

		<description>Well, Str8edge, since I don&#039;t think any laws have been broken, my answer would be none.  Assuming there were laws broken, I would say Bush first, but then that leaves you with President CHENEY!  So, from your side&#039;s political viewpoint, it would be best to go after Cheney first.</description>

		<description>So Sampson is saying that he quit not because he did anything illegal, but because he was accused of doing something &quot;politically&quot; incorrect and didn&#039;t have a &quot;politically&quot; viable explanaton/justification for his actions, which left his boss vulnerable to &quot;political&quot; victimization?  

So he did something legal, but he didn&#039;t foresee the political impact of his boss being unjustly criticized and needed to quit to take &quot;political&quot; pressure off his boss, the head legal counsel for the United States of America?

So he was following orders and because his actions were politically damaging, he had to quit to protect his boss, but when confronted with the reality that he could be prosecuted for executing those orders, he had to go on record that his quitting was not a de facto admission of being guilty of committing illegal acts, only of being a political embarassment to his boss, the head legal counsel for the United States of America?

His ultimate defense will be, he was only following orders he believed to be legal because they were the orders of the head legal counsel for the United States of America, Alberto R. Gonzales.</description>
