Other - Politics & Government - July 2007

As a citizen of the United States, I am shocked and appalled by the recent abuses of power by the executive branch. Has our Republic died under the authority of big government and unlimited power? Can anything be done or is a Revolution the only solution to the violation of our personal liberties?

What can we do to follow the Constitution more closely and have you thought of what our founders did when they set this country up in the way they did?

1) Richard Armitage leaks Plame's name.
2) Fitzgerald is appointed Special Prosecutor.
3) His first day on the job, Fitsgerald knows all the facts of the case, including Armitage being the leaker.
4) Fitzgerald decides Armitage broke no law because A) Plame wasn't covered by the law because she wasn't undercover, and B) Armitage didn't leak her name intentionally.
5) Fitzgerald, knowing no laws were broken, continues his investigation for two years. Fitzgerald was trying to catch someone in a lie.
6) Libby's testimony conflicts with a television journalist's. Libby is indicted and convicted of lying. He is sentenced to prison and a fine.

And now you know the facts. Libby wasn't the leaker.

Regarding specifically the Scooter Libby sentencing, but please no political hatred by either conservative or liberal, thank you.

The question is: Does the Office of the President have the authority to COMMUTE a sentence? In terms of having the jurisdiction to do so?

I understand the President may PARDON a convicted person, as Mr Clinton did an excessive number of times (most in Presidential history by far). While perfectly legal, I feel that it was abused.

The current President COMMUTED the sentence, which is less than a full pardon. While I do support Mr Libby, and I believe that he was wrongly convicted in that a crime never took place, I do not think there is precedent for the President to COMMUTE a sentence vs a full pardon. My justification is that commutation is a judicial tool, not an executive tool.

May I please have INTELLIGENT and not politically charged answers please. Thanks.

The independent investigation did not turn up violations of FISA law, but did uncover perjury committed to obstruct justice in discovering who revealed state secrets to punish whistleblowers.

Is forgiving Libby better or worse than a $60 million Whitewater investigation leading to impeachment proceedings over a dress stain?

Whitewater ended up with a dress stain because despite all the splashing, there were never any real fish there. Just the little minnow. The Plame pond, however, was filled with bloated carp but all that ended up in the net was Scooter. The giant Rove carp still lurks. Which was worse?

Why does Bush condone criminal conduct? Oh yeah, because he and his administration are also criminals?

We're not talking about anything but right now.
To support this adminsitration and all it does, and still say you believe in GOD would be hypocritcal wouldnt it???

Anyone else doesnt matter, and try as you may you cant really sidestepo the question..because you cant fool GOD.

Do you, or dont you support a currupt and dishonest governement?

Some people say what do republicans and believing in GOd have to do with eachother.
they are characteristics that honest people, GOD fearing people either have or dont have, and if your beleif in GOD donest dictate who you decide to support, then how can you claim to have any Faith -- when you should be supoporting integrity and honest leadership

After everythign this adminsitration has done,
how can someone with values, a belief in GOD support this madness

At very least -- your own Faith in GOD should dictate you stand and show you dont condone this from one of your party, shouldnt you?

Can Bush issue a Pardon for Libby right before he leaves office ( assuming he will )
after commuting Libby on jail . This way he can get less heat and sneak it in rather than doing the full thing now.

Our Borders are not secure, A large Terrorist Attack, was by
blind luck averted in the UK. The July 4 Holiday is coming up,
it would be Big Win for the Terrorist, if they pull anything off.
Yet the Libby Ploy has everyone distracted. Sort of like those who are attracted to shiny objects. I,m disappointed.

Are the terrorists starting to spread like cancer?

This might have happened in Yemen, but it is clear that they are targeting people from a Western Society.

SANAA (AFP) - Six Spanish tourists and a Yemeni driver were killed and seven other tourists wounded when a blast hit their convoy at a Yemeni historical site in the northeastern region of Marib, security officials said Monday.

The explosion was believed to be caused by a car bomb, and took place around 06:00 pm (1500 GMT) in a western suburb of Marib town, 170 kilometres (106 miles) east of the capital

Five doctors are now being held in connection with the recent attempted terror attacks - one is an Iraqi doctor who trained in Baghdad.

Sky sources named him as Iraqi Bilal Abdulla - he was left relatively unscathed in an attack on Glasgow airport, in which two men drove a flaming jeep into the airport terminal.

Two doctors were arrested in Paisley, Glasgow, another in Liverpool and one on the M6 on Saturday night.

Abdulla was pictured being led away from the explosion by police and worked at the Royal Alexandra Hospital near Glasgow. The other man detained at Glasgow airport had severe burns and remains in a critical condition at the Royal Alexandra.

* Insert all appropriate expletives here!

The pardon of the FELON, Scooter Libby, should come as no surprise to all who have recognized GW Bush as the THIEF he's proven himself to be since before he first occupied our STOLEN White House. This is par for the course -- but it's also the straw that broke the camel's back, as I see it.

To wit --

Thanksgiving, 2000 -- ABC-TV News documents with video the importation by bus of THUGS to intimidate the Palm Beach County vote-counters.

December, 2000 -- Dishonest CRONIES of Bush on the US Supreme Court ensure that Bush can STEAL the White House.

Bush has since proven himself to be a murderous war criminal, as the worst mass-murderer the world has experienced since Pol Pot. Over 3,300 lives of our own troops WASTED, and around 100,000 innocent Iraqis MURDERED.

And NOW he has just DESTROYED all credibility that the US Justice System still had. How many of you, like me, will NEVER again accord it ANY credibility whatsoever?
