Blackmail is Rove 101. I don't doubt AIPAC would blackmail to get what it wants, but Bushco's a much more likely suspect IMO.

He's demanding NOTHING. At least, not in any way that will make a shred of difference. Come on out, Mr. Conyers, and take a curtsey for your lovely performances. Maybe you could stomp your feet and proclaim your disappointment just a bit more. Keep on performing. Send a few more really strongly worded letters about how disappointed you are. If we're <em>lucky</em>, you and your ilk will allow BushCo to run out the clock on investigations for their crimes. If we're <em>not</em> lucky, well... you've probably kept yourself out of the gulags since you're performing the crucial role of fake oversight, and you can sip your cognac and laugh at the rest of us who get dragged away.

Now Mike will give his final report that the tapes were destroyed by the Transformers who have returned to their planet so case closed. If that doesn't fly look for Mark to push Mike out of the top job. Yes Cheney fires those who don't follow his orders. Look how well Dana Perino is doing as an idiot.
