Connecticut has no mechanism to recall it’s politicians so Lieberman will sit in his Senate seat and enrich himself by stealing the taxpayers money and doing nothing except promote his warmongering and war profiteering friends until 2013.

He is doing that right now by pushing for John McCain who,as President,will make things very easy for his money gathering activity.

And if you think that John McCain cannot become President,then you haven’t been paying attention to election fraud being utilized by evoting machines.

I have a feeling that there are going to be a lot of shocked an unhappy Democrats in November when McCain is declared President.

They will not know what hit them.

Knowing little of Horton re@108supra, other than his regular brilliance, beset by the usual diversity of drawbacks of what swopa aptly characterized during the Libby trial bloghouse posting two winters ago as ‘open source reporting’ online in his various venues, it seems to me professor Horton’s production might improve from his altering the pace of the obligate continuum at Harpers and looking into more topics like this international journey he posted at JB’s site in the atmosphere in academia three weeks after the Hamdan decision from the supreme court, as if recovering the threads of a longterm translation project.

Tenet wanted legal opinions to keep his agents out of trouble. Tenet was the fall guy for the Iraq ‘intelligence’. I don’t think Tenet wants Condi’s ‘mistakes were made’ written on his tombstone. I’d say he has motive to stick his shiv into her.

If we don’t recognize the Geneva Conventions and have unsigned/reneged/trashed treaties, why would other countries feel obligated to recognize diplomatic immunity for a criminal?

Might be awfully hard to resist rendering a criminal if the disclosures get detailed and very messy.

OT, but Scott Horton is calling it quits as a blogger. I’m bummed. If you weren’t reading him on a daily basis, you missed out.

I tuned in yesterday (Wednesday) only at the very end, but just in time to hear Crocker talking about al-Qaeda’s desire to re-establish “the Caliphate.” I was agog. The U.S. ambassador to Iraq was sitting in the U.S. Senate telling fairytales about foreign lands? Yes, he was. So in answer to your question, yes.

I wish I had collected more examples of the casual patriarchal bigotry, but much of the time, listening to those two and their bureaucratic fuzz, I had to struggle to stay awake. The senators were interesting, so I woke up for the questions. But I think I missed any answers.

So which of the likely suspects has a bone to pick with Condi?

I am sure Condi has diplomatic immunity as long as she is Sec. of State. But upon an indictment being issued, a country such as France might refuse her entry, and other EC countries may have to follow suit. Would make for an interesting diplomatic row in the waning days of the administration.

So which of the likely suspects has a bone to pick with Condi?

Because they sure stuck the shiv in her.

Are they literally daring a foreign country to snag her the next time she travels overseas?

The rest of the principals aren’t as likely a rendition for war crimes as they’ll probably have more security (ex. DeadEye) or stay at home (ex. Rummy).

We have “a select group of senior officials or their deputies”, of which the principals were “Vice President Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell, CIA Director George Tenet and Attorney General John Ashcroft”. So who were the deputies?

Any of them got an axe to grind with Condi?

And are any of the likely suspects tight with McCain; could they have been asked to stick the shiv in her to keep her at arm’s length from McCain’s Veep shortlist?
