Finally, Congressman Jefferson was indicted today

Many of us have been wondering for over two years now what was happening, if anything, with the Jefferson case. You do remember that dude that had $90,000 in his refrigerator? He has been indicted by the federal government for having "received more than $500,000 in bribes and sought millions more in nearly a dozen separate schemes to enrich himself by using his office to broker business deals in Africa, according to a federal indictment Monday." If you would like to read the rest of the Yahoo News report, you may do here.

Just in case any of you wondering why I usually copy the news stories that I link to, I do it because I have had too many problems linking to an article and it disappears. I do not like that. At the place where I send you is a page I have created simply to solve this problem. Over there, you will find the link to the article, if it works at all by the time you get there! lol. Hey, just because they may not be credible, at least you will still be able to read their articles.

Ah, I noticed that, too. Why would I use their news articles if they were not credible? What I meant was that they move their articles. Not that the news wasn't credible sometimes. God! I can't help myself! LOL.

Stop the politics at the waters edge. We are at war

To whom it may concern,

First allow me to acknowledge that I know none of you politicians give a damn. I get it. However I am going to make my plea and my case here. In this fashion, the rest of us are able to voice our opinions.

Since before this war began, I am referring to the whole war-not just one theatre, you have been calling it a quagmire. I remember when you did so in Afghanistan. You said we could not do what the Communist USSR could not do. I'm glad to see how much faith you have in your own country's ability to defend herself. Not.

Then there were the so-called pre-war protests. Then the anti-Bush protests. Never was there an actual pre-war protest that did not have the interests of our enemies involved with them, and you fell for it. How sad of a human being you are.

Now you are acting like the French. Let me revise that. At least the French are not putting up their white flags this time. How much of a coward can you be to be less than the French?

You have been beating the same drum since your inception. You have not even changed a word. You are so familiar and so stale.

You also know that if you repeat your big lies often enough, people that do not know anything about that topic will start to believe you. Great. You have given Stalin what he never could have gain on his own. Oh, what useless idiots you are!

Now. When our men and women go to war to defend our country, our lives, our way of life; shut up. We have only one commander-in-chief, and you are not he. You have every opportunity you need at your fingertips to speak to him. Do not express your weakness of fear to the enemy. It is not you who will pay the price for your reckless disregard of our troops, but it is you whose hands will be stained with our blood. Al-Jazeera will make sure of that.

I do not know why we are not following the Constitution and throwing you in prison for treason. It very well could be due to the idiot AG who is giving his testimony today about how much he does not know. What a terrible shame.

Why do you tell the media not to show our successes? Why do you not allow us to participate in this war? Why do you continue to give our secrets to the New York Times? Why are they not in prison for aiding and abetting our enemies?

Just a few questions the AMERICAN PEOPLE are asking. Oh, I know you have the big mouths. I know they get most of the attention. That is because you agree with them, and you are using them as a surrogate.

A word to wise, if there are any to be found, in the Democrat party. (Republican Party, too.) You did not win this election based on anything for which you ran. Many of us did not bother fighting for either party because we are AMERICANS, and we want you to start acting like it as well. We want this politicizing the Global War on Terrorism stopped. Now.

What has caused my ire? Iraq war 'lost' says top Democrat by al-Jazeera.

Judge grills FRENCH OIL CEO for ties to terrorist regimes

Oh, my, my. What do we have here? Could this be the reason why the French did not want anyone to take out Saddam? And they claim to be offended by human rights violations? HA!

News from Liberia: CNN; 2/27-28/2007

MONROVIA, Liberia (Reuters) -- Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf accepted the resignation of her chief of staff, Willie Knuckles, after he was photographed having sex with two women, tarnishing a government campaign for moral probity.

Johnson-Sirleaf, a longtime campaigner for women's rights, said Knuckles had not broken the law but the scandal threatened to derail efforts to combat sexual abuse and raise standards in Liberia's public life after a brutal 1989-2003 civil war.

Knuckles, who is also minister of state for presidential affairs and is married with children, has accused opposition lawmakers of trying to use the photographs to blackmail him. [Continue reading at CNN. If this link no longer works, use this one.]

MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) -- The former president has been charged with stealing more than $1 million from Liberia's coffers while in office, government officials said Wednesday.

Gyude Bryant, who led the interim government from October 2003 until current President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf took office in January 2006, had previously been accused of embezzlement in a report issued by the Economic Community of West African States.

Police had questioned Bryant in recent months as part of a wide anticorruption campaign, and government officials said they finally had enough information to issue charges. [Continue reading CNN. If that link no longer is available, try this one.]

Libby found guilty

I am too upset to write a long piece. Here is the AP's spin on it. Libby's lawyer is asking for a new trial. If that fails, he will ask for an appeal.

Here are some articles you can read: American Thinker, Michelle Malkin, Bloomberg's Libby, Ex-Cheney Aide, Convicted in CIA Leak Case (Update2) and Fox News' I. Lewis 'Scooter' Libby Guilty on Four of Five Counts in CIA Leak Trial.

Update: Dagney has written an article more in the way I am feeling today, the next day. I am still appalled at this injustice, and she nails it with her title: The InJustice Department Strikes Again.

Update II: Victoria Toensing has written an article from a legal point of view and more information as to the conduct of the Special Counsel Attorney and Judge. Amazingly breathtaking. That's how discumbobulated this sham has turn out to be.
