		<description>Writing about the carnage in Gaza Mcwars wrote:

&lt;em&gt;That is exactly how the media should have been covering the Iraq carnage the last 5 1/2 years. Those who want the conflict should have the carnage rubbed in their faces.&lt;/em&gt;

Good point but of course it would never happen because this type of footage doesn&#039;t make you want to go out and buy a new car or plan a vacation to Disney World.</description>

		<description>Funny, the Washington Post article doesn&#039;t once mention who replaced David Iglesias as U.S. Attorney for New Mexico.

(AP, 1-26-08):

&quot;A veteran federal prosecutor has been named the new U.S. attorney for New Mexico by a panel of federal judges.

Greg Fouratt, 42, was sworn in Friday in Dallas. He had been in Oklahoma to argue a case.

The president normally appoints the U.S. attorney, but after determining that presidential action was not imminent, a majority of judges on the U.S. District Court in New Mexico voted to exercise their authority to make the appointment, Chief Judge Martha Vazquez said in a statement Friday.

Fouratt grew up in Roswell and graduated from Roswell High School and New Mexico State University. He spent six years as a U.S. Air Force officer and then attended law school and became a federal prosecutor. He has remained in the Air National Guard.

He replaces interim U.S. Attorney Larry Gomez, who filled in after David Iglesias was asked to resign.&quot;

Well, at least we all now know who replaced David Iglesias as the U.S. Attorney for New Mexico after the honorable Mr. Iglesias was fired for refusing to politicize investigations and prosecutions for the benefit of Karl Rove and the Republicans.

And Mr. Fouratt&#039;s resume looks impressive (BTW, I served in the USAF)...until one realizes that many current U.S. District Courts have been packed with right-wingers during the malevolent Bush/Cheney years and that the Bush administration probably figured they&#039;d face a battle getting Iglesias&#039; replacement through the Democratic-controlled Senate, so the Bush administration turned to their political appointees on the U.S. District Court for New Mexico to get the job done.

Thus, my question stands: Has Gov. Bill Richardson been &quot;Siegelman&#039;ed,&quot; especially as we are just getting word out of Alaska that Republicans in Gov. Sarah Palin&#039;s administration &quot;slow-walked&quot; an investigation into her future mother-in-law&#039;s illicit drug activity until after the November election.

Typical corrupt Republican mentality: &quot;fast-walking&quot; any investigations and prosecutions of Democrats, both actual (few) and specious (legion), while &quot;slow-walking&quot; investigations and prosecutions of Republicans, both actual (legion) and specious (few), even though the most popular corrupt Republican strategy is to completely block any investigations and prosecutions of Republicans from ever happening in the first place.</description>

		<description>I voted for McKinney. I was a Democrat for 25 years. I have alwways despised Republicans. 

So far Obama&#039;s cabinet as not having many new ideas. I am not impressed with his choices : too status quo.

Re-investigate 9/11 NOW!</description>

		<description>Alledged Hippie Crusher,
Might you provide any sort of supporting evidences of the broad statements you make in comments 30 and 31?
Thanks I&#039;ll check back in a spell. Oh and I am still interested in hearing about any hippies you feel you ever &quot;crushed&quot;. I had a super crush on a sweet hippie chick but I didn&#039;t crush her. Instead I was polite to her.</description>

		<description>Zooey, I admire your warmheartedness.  However, to quote the story:...&quot;The grand jury probe was “in a highly active stage” at the time Obama nominated Richardson&quot;. And I have some concern that the investigation was active during Richardson&#039;s run for the presidency. Shades of Edwards!  What would have been the outcome should Richardson have been nominated? I am appalled at the self-centeredness of the political ranks.</description>

		<description>That means my Congressman might be under investigation.  The time frame of Rep. Mike Conaway&#039;s donations from the Albertine brothers coincided with his pushing an earmark benefiting one of their firms.  The Albertines are also lobbyists.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;What the US/Israel/UK is doing is a gross WAR CRIME&lt;/blockquote&gt;


Right. Because bombing Israeli cities for 8 terrible years, three of them AFTER Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza Strip, is not a war crime. What bunch of hypocrites.</description>
