Go to hell, scumbag. The special hell for crooked prosecutors.

Hardly covered in most of the US media.
At the same time “Surgerrific” McCain wins Florida, gets Giuliani endorsement.
Five killed at once as the Mosul area continues to heat up. The nonstop assassination of Sunni tribal leaders who take the bribes to side with the US is starting to have a serious effect. The next phase will be when these “anti Al Qaeda” groups, heavily armed and financed by the US, turn on the occupation troops. Bush approved this scheme of bribery for reasons of short term gain, and is hoping that the next President will suffer the blowback. It looks like that might be coming before he leaves office, though.
Bans exit polls; Bush will still probably praise these stolen elections.
Bush has now directly threatened to veto the entire law on domestic surveillance if it does not contain retroactive immunity for past lawbreaking by telecommunications companies. At the same time, he insists that if this law expires on February 1st as scheduled, that we will be in grave danger. He is directly threatening to put us all in “grave danger” if certain legal desires of corporations are not met.
Today is the day to stop telecom immunity, it is the day of the showdown. Tomorrow will be too late. Tell these people to vote “no” on cloture (a vote to sustain Dodd’s filibuster of the version of the bill containing full telecom immunity for illegal domestic spying on Americans).
Here are the wavering Senators that need calling:
Bayh (202) 224-5623
Carper (202) 224-2441
Inouye (202) 224-3934
Johnson (202) 224-5842
Landrieu (202)224-5824
McCaskill (202) 224-6154
Mikulski (202) 224-4654
Nelson (FL) (202) 224-5274
Nelson (NE) (202) 224-6551
Pryor (202) 224-2353
Salazar (202) 224-5852
And that baby was an American citizen. Just like the other American citizens who are being arrested and deported to countries they’ve never seen.
Bush has just caved and agreed to let House Committees see documents about the illegal warrantless wiretapping. Simultaneously, Harry Reid delayed the next telecom immunity vote, in which the pro-immunity side needs 60 to proceed, until Monday. This means that House Committee staff and members, who will begin viewing the White House documents today, have until Sunday to leak some of this info to the press. One good leak to a major newspaper and the telecoms can kiss any chance of immunity goodbye.
Home prices down 1.8% in 2007.
To censor EPA documents headed for Congress. Somehow they just weren’t smart enough to figure out that Chairman Boxer would simply order her staff to peel the tape off. Don’t miss the video.
