The Bush Camp has been silent. The wagons are circling in preparation for a fight…as they should be.

Rove has been Bush Jr’s right hand man for many years. Now that Rove has been caught with his hand in the proverbial cookie jar, we will soon see the expanse of Rove’s power. One of two things will happen. Rove will emerge unscathed and lie that he only named Plaume as his wife or he will open Pandora’s box on the Republican lies about the Iraq War. Semantics saved the higher ups on Guantanomo, why not now?

The second possibility is Rove will go down (If Rove goes down the White House does not have a brain cell to stand on ). The now quiet white house is chasing it’s tail and debating on whether it has enough power over the American People to continue the lie. The congressional elections are in 2006 and if the Dem’s win back control of the Senate, the whole team is going to go down. The stakes are high.

Recall that Bush said he would fire anyone on his staff who had knowingly leaked the name of a C.I.A. operative, Valerie Wilson, also known by her maiden name, Valerie Plame. Bush blatantly ignored a question about Rove posed to him on Tuesday by a reporter on the edges of an Oval Office meeting with the prime minister of Singapore. His press secretary, Scott McClellan took one for the Republican team yesterday at a press conference in which the reporters of this land seemed to stir and wake up a bit.

How long can the evil ways of this administration be ignored?

On a lighter note, some feel Rove is gay and he is the one who ushered in the hard-bodied Jeff Gannon to the inner circle. This has been insinuated in more than a few sites, but alas no smoking gun like the Plame gun has been found. Rove’s sex life is still between him, his lover, and his God.

Sixteen Candles…..Sixteen Words. Both are equally as juvenile. More to come.

American historical filmmaker, Cyrus Kar, got into the wrong taxi outside his hotel in Bagdad and ended up being imprisoned by the US Military for over 50 days. It took a civil lawsuit filed by his family and the ACLU to get the attention of the Department of Defence to let him go.

According to DOD officials, Kar, a veteran of the US Navy and Navy reserves, got into a cab that was later searched by Iraqi security forces and found to contain dozens of washing-machine timers of a type sometimes used by Iraqi insurgents to make improvised explosive devices.

Their only real information about his case, family members said, came from a relatively low-level F.B.I. agent who, after searching Kar’s Los Angeles apartment and investigating his background, told them the circumstances of his arrest. The agent also had told the family Kar had been cleared, but he is still being detained.

“I’m thrilled that Cyrus and Farshid will be released soon, but the question is why it didn’t happen 50 days ago,” said the lead lawyer for Mr. Kar, Mark D. Rosenbaum of the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California. “It shouldn’t take a lawsuit to free an innocent man whose only crime was to get in the wrong cab.”

Pentagon officials stated Kar was never mistreated and was kept in the same prison as Saddam Hussein. This was little consolation for the fact he was detained illegally from the beginning.

According to the embassy consular official, although he still has not been released, Mr. Kar still does want to go home until he was able to complete his filming.

Blair has supported Bush since the beginning. He has stood behind him even when he knew Bush was leading his country into an unjustified war. When a Bus exploded in London yesterday killing over 50 people, Blair was officially initiated into the nebulous “war on terror”. A war, you will recall, that even our cowboy president thinks cannot be won.

You can’t protect yourself from terrorism by fighting a war in another country. Iraq is siphoning off a large amount of money and resources we could be using here to protect ourselves. Bush and the Neo Con’s have put the entire country at risk, choosing to pass silly laws on flag buring rather than figuring out how to get us out of this messsy war.

Send our troops home to protect the USA. Leave the oil fantasy for another day.
