Rove And Bartlett To Be Subpoenaed
White House anxiety is mounting over the prospect that top officials—including deputy chief of staff Karl Rove and counselor Dan Bartlett-may be forced to provide potentially awkward testimony in the perjury and obstruction trial of Lewis (Scooter) Libby.Both Rove and Bartlett have already received trial subpoenas from Libby’s defense lawyers, according to lawyers close to the case who asked not to be identified talking about sensitive matters. While that is no guarantee they will be called, the odds increased this week after Libby’s lawyer, Ted Wells, laid out a defense resting on the idea that his client, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff, had been made a “scapegoat� to protect Rove. Cheney is expected to provide the most crucial testimony to back up Wells’s assertion, one of the lawyers close to the case said. The vice president personally penned an October 2003 note in which he wrote, “Not going to protect one staffer and sacrifice the other.� The note, read aloud in court by Wells, implied that Libby was the one being sacrificed in an effort to clear Rove of any role in leaking the identity of CIA operative Valerie Plame, wife of Iraq war critic Joe Wilson. “Wow, for all the talk about this being a White House that prides itself on loyalty and discipline, you’re not seeing much of it,� the lawyer said.
The Bushistas forced too many people into being sacrificial lambs for a long time (cf. John DiIulio, Paul O'Neill, George Shinsheki, George Tenant, Colin Powell) why are they surprised that someone might screw them back?

Wow, I never thought about that. That the people that the president and his lackeys have forced into submission for so many years, might fight back. A very interesting idea. Have you heard about how CNN FINALLY found out that contractors have been misusing and mishandling American dollars in "Eye-rack?" Why does it seem like the news media is always half a mile BEHIND the game?

Well, I stopped paying attention to CNN and AIPAC Blitzer a long time ago. The news media is always too little and too late on the real stories because they are too used to being stenographers of the Bush administration. But don't worry, once a Democrat becomes president, they will stop at NOTHING to dig up any trumped up rumor that might be floating about her or him.

I think consistency is probably the most important things for making a name for oneself...whether it's consistency inside how often you web site, comment, connect with individuals, etc. It's all around consistency.
