A blow to the administration – their will now be hearings into the destruction of the waterboarding tapes.

Thanks to our new Attorney General. Thanks to Chuck Schumer and Diane Feinstein! Attorney General Michael Mukasey refused Friday to give Congress details of the government’s investigation into interrogations of terror suspects that were videotaped and destroyed by the CIA. He said doing so could raise questions about whether the inquiry is vulnerable to political […]

Watching Bush’s press conference and it’s obvious he is on edge, but still he lies like crazy. Yesterday we found out he has been lying to this country and the world about Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He is saying that this changes nothing in his assertions because they had a program. Catch that – they […]

Even after Scooter got his “get out of jail free” card from Bush, the case continues to get more interesting. Scott McClellan is set to have his memoirs hit the shelves in April and it includes juicy information like this: “I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in […]

Not a pardon, but rather he commuted the sentence. That means no jail for Scooter. Bush says he felt the punishment was too harsh. So is that saying that lying about a blow job is a worse crime than lying under oath regarding the outing of a CIA agent? It appears so. Bush just handed […]

Dianne Feinstein said Sunday. […]

Sounds like there is still a chance other charges could be filed down the road, but not highly likely. It is great to hear the facts straight from Fitzgerald’s mouth. The one big fact – Valerie Plame’s identity was being protected by the CIA. This is the one the wingnuts will try to spin.

CNN just reported that White House spokesperson, Dana Perino, was asked about Harry Reid’s statement. She quickly turned it around to say that the “Democrats will use this for politics”. I guess it was fine and dandy for the Republicans to use a blow job for politics in the Clinton years, but when it comes […]

After a day of updating the site, I finally had some time to catch up on the happenings of the day. One in particular really stuck out at me. The Associated Press has an article talking about Libby’s defense, which says: Three prominent journalists testified Monday that Bush administration officials volunteered leaks about a CIA […]
