IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL CHENEY IS IN CUSTODY

How did Herr Hitler come to power? Among other things he grabbed what he couldn't get by other means. Cheney seems a lot like that to me. He could still work with Bush or perhaps against Bush to make war on other nations before the Bush adminstration is history.

A lot of us out here in the heartland think Cheney and Bush are crooks as well as hopeful Caesars. Look at the whole way some of the other Bush Texans are known to have operated. Tom Delay and others have been shown to be as riddled with corruption. Bill Moyers had a great summmary of the way Jack Abrahmoff, Ralph Reed and a dude named Norquist have committed all sorts of crimes involving the funneling of money to conservatives and conservative organizations for the purpose of enriching these three men. Any way, their crimes are multitudinous and I see no reason to assume Cheney has operated with any more propriety.

Where are those White House emails? Isn't there a backup system they didn't erase? What about carnivore and such recording efforts? What about foreign governments, private spies, anyone? I find it hard to believe that all these emails are completely gone.


So it seems that many congressional and grand jury "fishing expeditions" are in order in order to overcome individual prosecutorial hesistancy. Once some actionable dirt is uncovered things can become more centralized. A comprehensive criminal investigation of the administration and Cheney's administration in particular should be on the agenda. Put Cheney in jail and he may not be able to make war!

Prosecutions should, of course continue after the administration is out of power if it ever is.
