or rather, whether he is a "made-made man"--double-made, inner circle of the Dark Lords. I'm beginning to think he is not. But it's still an open question. I strongly suspect that a deal was made--no impeachment (including no prosecution in the future) in exchange for no nuking of Iran, and Bush-Cheney agreeing to go quietly when the time came (and also getting Rumsfeld out)--that is, immunity for Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, and a few others--whomever they choose to protect. I think this is why Cheney nearly bragged about ordering torture, a short time ago. What does he care? He's immunized. I think it's why Bush didn't pardon anybody. He didn't need to. I think it's why we didn't nuke Iran (when that seemed so imminent at one time). I think it's why Rumsfeld resigned, with no change of policy in Iraq (in fact, escalation of the war, by the last Congress--of the 10% approval rating). The Bush junta was going to go too far--nuking Iran (and martial law here?). Military, CIA, politicos, maybe interested billionaires (the Saudi king comes to mind--but also just corpos), and maybe including Daddy Bush, got together, showed Cheney/Rumsfeld their portfolios of crime, and made the deal.
It explains a lot: Pelosi's "impeachment is off the table," apropos of nothing (WHAT "table"?), Rumsfeld resigning immediately after that. Pelosi's trip to the Middle East (--taking the word that attacking Iran was off). The Iranians giving the British sailors back, with a smile. The downward curve of saber-rattling against Iran over the next two years, 2006-2008. (Maybe the above 'white hat' cabal got word that Russia or China was going to protect Iran with nukes--I don't know--but where did all that bluster and prep and Rumsfeld OSP manufacturing of Iranian weapons in Iraq, etc., go?)
Anyway--if my theory is more or less true--where does that leave people like Gonzo? Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld (and the fascist dragons behind them) have people like Gonzo by the short hairs. They can provide or not provide protection. They can provide or not provide financial support. They can "throw them to the wolves" or not. Though the "made-made men" are immunized, they certainly don't want certain secrets made public. It could restrict their travel (--if prosecutors in other countries, the World Court, or aggrieved private individuals pick it up). It could curb their future power games, or make them more complicated. They may be protected by our political establishment--which kind of likes these rogues, but doesn't want the whole game exposed--but they might still have some inconveniences, if puppets like Gonzo spill any beans. Or maybe Gonzo doesn't really know that much. He's such a stupid man he may not be a "player" at all--just truly a puppet. He might also serve as a sacrificial lamb--some red meat thrown the pitchfork crowd. As I said, it'll be interesting to see how it all falls out. Who's "made." Who's "made-made." Who's "roadkill."
Truth? Democracy? Justice? Pfft! We lost those a long time ago, on 11/22/63*.

*("JFK and the Unspeakable: Why he died and why it matters," by James Douglass. Read it!)
*(I don't think we are without remedy and will never get our country back, but it's pretty clear that it's going to be very, very, very hard, and take time. However, once the light of truth begins to shine, after long, difficult, smaller efforts to light candles here and there, by very brave and stubborn people, it can suddenly flood in, like the sunlight into a dark dungeon that has been opened. Enlightenments have tended to happen that way. Suddenly, in the 1960s, it became unthinkable to deny black citizens the vote, or display "whites only" signs on drinking fountains. It seemed sudden, but of course it had taken decades and centuries of struggle to get there. Same with the Sixties anti-war movement. Previous generations had dutifully gone to war--with justification re WW II, to be sure, but then...Korea, the Cold War, Vietnam? Sixties generation rejected that unquestioning attitude, and many said, "No!," and that was sudden. Light dawned. Why kill "gooks" in Vietnam? WHY? It was to stifle that Enlightenment that JFK was killed--also MLK and RFK--according to Douglass, and all that has unfolded since then has been like a re-closing of a dark dungeon. A moment of bright light, then gone--back to war profiteering, killing, plunder, to this very day. It's a powerful, powerful book--an Enlightenment all by itself--and meticulously researched, both on the assassination of JFK and on the war vs peace issues that were at stake. He's got two more volumes coming on the other assassinations, five years later, that complete his thesis: all three assassinations (also Malcom X) were committed by our own government and its war profiteer establishment, to continue the Forever War. Me: This same establishment is right now covering up egregious war crimes by the "made-made men" of the Bush junta and wondering what to do with their lesser operatives like Gonzo. As with LBJ--who, according to Douglass, participated in the coverup of the CIA's assassination of JFK, to prevent the nuclear war that it was aimed at triggering--they had laid a trail to Russia and Cuba--some of our current 'white hats' may have had the motive of once again preventing nuclear war, but, if that is true, the price to us all, of this kind of secrecy, is too high. It is secrecy that protects the war machine. And such secrecy means that it can easily happen again.)
