This story was of course put in the back burner in favor of Israel playing Uncle Sam's Mini-Me by running over Muslim countries as they damn well please, but it's worth mentionining:

Plame sues Cheney, Rove in leak case (http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=topNews&storyID=2006-07-13T210506Z_01_N13360644_RTRUKOC_0_US-BUSH-LEAK.xml)

If you can't bring them to justice, nail them in the pocketbooks.

I really don't get why someone wasn't nailed to the wall over this. In Australia, the ABC program "The Chaser's War on Everything" was nearly pulled form the air to jokingly revealing that "The middle name of British MI-5 agent Austin Powers, [was] 'Danger'..."

You say that like it's a bad thing.. :(

Anyway, my prediction: nothing comes of the charges; that is, GOP keeps both houses of Congress in November. :cool:

Still a Bushevik to the end, eh Peppy. Bet you and Deep Kimchi both wank off to Muslim Genocide Fantasies.

Besides, I couldn't give a shit who controls Congress although a non-Republican majority might open up some real criminal investigation.

The case? Don't know, I doubt that GOP will control both houses. I predict a slim Dem majority in one, which brings Congress to a hault and we get to watch all sorts of fun investigations.

You don't question the timing.. at all? All coincidental? I think I like your righteous indignation more than your naiveté.. it's more fun. ;)

Is it really fair to classify Lebanon a muslim nation? There is a very sizable minority of Christians in both the population at large and in the government.

Arab =/= Muslim.

Plus, the Key government positions are divvied up by religion, and there is, by constitutional law, a 50/50 split in Parliament between Christians and Muslims.

Just sayin' what? That it should be okay to kill them all because there are some Muslims there? :rolleyes:

BTW, the Plame lawsuit likely will not go anywhere, but I've heard some pundits say that winning isn't the point. Even if they do win, they're not planning to keep any money they might get awarded. The point, some pundits think, is to focus the spotlight on the irresponsible behavior of key administration officials, hopefully creating a call for greater accountability.

"Is it really fair to classify Lebanon as a Muslim nation?"

That was the question. Lebanon is 60% Muslim, and almost totally arab. That was my answer. I'll clarify for you that I wasn't suggesting the two were synonymous, but only because I happen to be exceptionally bored at this moment and don't mind wasting a few seconds. :)

I agree with the second bit in any case. I repeat my predection that the GOP keeps both houses.
