We STILL need an Independent Investigator/Special Prosecuter, Help!
***Send amessage through moveon.org
"Attorney General Ashcroft must appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the White House's role in revealing an undercover CIA agent's identity. This act was a breach of national security and a felony and should be investigated by an independent party."
http://www.moveon.org/intimigate/?id=1744-3117687-olckdclqsk8mQupjEhr5pQ

---------------------------
***Don’t Let Bush And Ashcroft
Off the Hook
KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!
Thousands continue to sign the petition demanding the appointment of an independent investigator to look into the illegal leaking by Bush Administration officials of a CIA agent’s identity, apparently intended to intimidate the agent’s husband.
Sign the petition

***Send an E-mail to Congress demanding an independent investigation:

***Demand an Independent Investigation into the Illegal White House Leak
Do you trust John Ashcroft's Justice Department to conduct a thorough and independent investigation of the Bush White House? Sign our petition below calling for a special counsel and we'll deliver your comments to President Bush, Attorney General Ashcroft, and members of the House and Senate Intelligence Committees.

--------------
And from the DNC,

Take Action: Call for an Independent Investigation Into the White House Leak
The White House still has yet to force the persons who endangered national security by leaking the name of an undercover CIA agent to come forward.

President Bush could demand answers from his staff. But he continues to plead ignorance, and says he has "no idea" whether we'll ever find out who's guilty. Bush insists it's up to the Ashcroft Justice Department to investigate, even though his spokesman has already cleared Karl Rove and other top operatives of the crime.

We don't trust John Ashcroft to investigate President Bush -- Ashcroft owes his job to Bush and Karl Rove. It's time for Congress to express its support for an independent investigation by a special counsel.

Act Now: Call and Email Members of Congress

2. Don't worry
it's not going anywhere. The ABC/Wash. Post poll that came out today shows 67 percent support an independent counsel, including an overwhelming majority of Dems and independents. Also, the percentage of those who think the WH is cooperating with the investigation has declined from 47 to 39 percent. People know the WH is stonewalling, even with all the Arnold coverage drowning it out last week.

3. Indeed...
The media whores are in high gear spinning the "leak", the lack of WMD, the deaths of our troops, the "success" of the war, the "16 words", et hoc genus omne. The administration goes "behind the back" of the "national press corp" and spins to some of the smaller media outlets, releasing a barrage of "oh feel sorry for us the liberal media is spinning" and Americans of common sense are left asking the $10,000 dollar question.

Have the journalists gotten too close to the power? Since the coup of 2000 we have been insulted by this quasi-elite group of national press corp. We can no longer deny that corruption in this relationship has led to an erosion of people who are truly informed about what is really going on in Washington.

5. very true

..."We can no longer deny that corruption in this relationship has led to an erosion of people who are truly informed about what is really going on in Washington."

Not only has it left people uninformed, the corrupt reationship has enabled a myriad of real crimes.
