19. The way to save this country is to remove Bushite voting machine
corporations and their "TRADE SECRET," PROPRIETARY programming code, highly insecure, unreliable, hackable computers, and the lack of transparency and lack of verifiability, from our election system now.

There is a REASON that majority views keep losing elections and votes in Congress. We DON'T HAVE a representative Congress, nor a president who is beholden to the people. We DON'T HAVE a transparent, verifiable election system. In essence, we lost our sovereignty as a people, when private partisan interests took over our election system in the 2002-2004 period, prompted by Tom Delay's and Bob Ney's "Hack America's Vote Act," a $4 billion electronic voting boondoggle for Bush's buds at Diebold and ES&S, that thoroughly corrupted our election system, as intended.

We cannot depend on one prosecutor and one case to save our democracy. We have to save it ourselves. And restoring our right to vote is Step One.

A word about WSJ: One thing businesspeople and corporatists must have is accurate, good information about items like the Fitzgerald prosecution and other news, with which to judge trends and make informed business decisions. They will not tolerate being misled. The WSJ editorials may be wacko. The news section is not.

So, although neither Fitzgerald nor Libby has stated that Bush or Cheney actually ordered the Plame outing, I think we should pay close attention to the wording of the opening sentence of this article. I think that Fitz may in fact have the goods on Bush and/or Cheney. He just hasn't disclosed it yet.

WSJ: "The special prosecutor trying the case against former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis Libby will try to show that the leaking of a CIA agent's name grew out of a highly organized administration effort that commanded high-level attention, a court filing this week shows."

"...grew out of highly organized administration effort that commanded high-level attention."

This reporter is doing quite a dance with words to broadly hint that Bush and/or Cheney are now in Fitz's sights, without disclosing all that she may have learned (because she may not be 100% sure of it yet, or it's confidential).
