This lawsuit is yet another thing that may serve to bring down the Bush Boys. This is from an AP article at CNN.com:

Former CIA officer sues Cheney, Libby, Rove over leak
Plame alleges Bush administration officials ruined her career

Thursday, July 13, 2006; Posted: 5:30 p.m. EDT (21:30 GMT)


The identity of former CIA officer
Valerie Plame was revealed in a column
by Robert Novak in 2003.


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The CIA officer whose identity was leaked to reporters sued Vice President Dick Cheney, his former top aide and presidential adviser Karl Rove on Thursday, accusing them and other White House officials of conspiring to destroy her career.

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador, accused Cheney, Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby of revealing Plame's CIA identity in seeking revenge against Wilson for criticizing the Bush administration's motives in Iraq.

HalfMooner, dude. The Plame suite, for me, is a little bit of good news today; along with the Voting Rights action in the U-S House. Thanks for putting up Valerie's lovely visage. I just saw the new movie from the Philip K. Dick novel, "A Scanner Darkly" Tuesday night. So, I may still be reverberating from the paranoia of that pretty damned good flick, but.....it seems: everytime they're about the really corner these jerk-offs who are ruining our country, the war situation gets deeper and creepier. I'm wondering whether G. War can stand to take a big November defeat in the Congress without starting a bigger conflict to distract us from his corruption and incompetence.

This situation is slithering more closely to the fright that was afoot for the Cuban Missile Crisis. I was so scare then that I got married for the first time. Boy, that was a big mistake, just like George W. Bush has been.

Good for them. If the prosecutors won't go after them let the civil courts do it.

My suggested early-warning trick to foresee an upcoming invasion (such as into Syria or Iran) is to watch for several top generals suddenly retiring early or resigning their commissions without explanation. This would almost certainly happen if George W. told the military to prepare for such an invasion. It would happen simply because such an invasion would be militarily untenable, especially in the midst of the Iraq debacle. Some generals would not be a party to such even greater and more meaningless slaughter.

Indeed. It would be vey difficult for even the President to stop that process!
