11. Odd that he would announce a pending "sting." While it's true they've
successfully exposed a number of important Bushite pigsties, I'll be in a "show me" mood for some time about any agency that Dick Cheney or Donald Rumsfeld has had any power over. It also seems odd that the FBI suddenly gets hot about Congressional crime with the Democrats about to take over at least the House. It's possible that honest FBI agents feel emboldened BECAUSE of the turn in the tide. On the other hand, what a weapon the FBI could be for the Bush Junta--with their pervasive spying apparatus--to keep Democrats who are trying to investigate or impeach them in line, and to cower and silence potential whistleblowers. How successful have the Bush Junta purges of these agences been? Can we trust these agencies? I think we should remain quite skeptical and be especially careful about taking FBI investigations and DoJ prosecutions at face value. (I'm mean, LOOK at who heads the DoJ--a Bush Cartel toady, and "torture memo" writer!) The crimes of the Bush Junta have been immense, and the lesser criminals may have bits and pieces of the bigger pictures. It would be typical fascist strategy to intimidate and frighten the lesser criminals, so that they don't dare point the finger. The top Bushites will sacrifice anyone to save their own skins. We just need to be aware of all this, and always try to look deeper into these investigations, and read between the lines. The FBI was in a fracas with Congress recently about invading Congressional offices and seizing docs (members of Congress are protected under the Constitution from any such invasion and seizure--for good reason--and I believe the matter remains unresolved. This is a rather dangerous business, the FBI "investigating" Congress. Stay alert!
