While You Were Sleeping

[Stephanie]

The Cheney maladministration is in free-fall. But never mind about that.

LOOK OVER HERE! RONALD REAGAN IS STILL DEAD!

These are DU headlines from the last three days. This is what you're being distracted from:

Cheney faces grilling over leak as Bush election hopes slump

PLAME INVESTIGATION "Appears To Be In Active Phase!" (WP)

Terror threat political game - Clarke

Howard Dean.....Tenet covering up for Bush, taking fall

Laura Does Paris

Bush Knew About Leak of CIA Operatives Name

FBI on trail of Pentagon mole (neo-cons take lie detector tests)

From the desk of GWB on June 1: Faith-Based Executive Order

Sibel Edmonds to be on 60 Minutes tomorrow with NEW stuff

Chalabi accuses Tenet of spurring intelligence probe

CIA braces itself for criticism over 9/11 and Saddams weapons

Cheney, Rumsfeld on abuse trial witness list

NYT: F.B.I. Begins Polygraph Tests in Chalabi Inquiry

Pentagon accused of ignoring CIA evidence of Chalabis link to Iran

Bush Consults Lawyer About CIA Name Leak

Enron Tapes Should Be Nail in Coffin of Schwarzenegger

The timing is so convenient you almost wonder if somebody decided the time was right to pull the plug on a very sick, very old man.

Please post your links to significant DU threads that are being ignored due to the timely death of you know who.

9. Bush Hired Lawyer....bush the crook....

The media wants us to forget bush hired a lawyer. Never forget, bush is a crook.

10. what gets me is they might pre-empt Sibel Edmonds

who promises to be extremely damaging for Bushco

Should I walk over to the funeral home (three blocks from my house) and put a big picture of Sibel Edmonds there with the flowers and flags?

11. Thank you, I only missed one of those n/t

12. While American news outlets are dispensing their canned

ham retrospectives on Reagan, now is the perfect time to switch to BBC and CBC news, UK and Australian newspapers, and the international editions of foreign newspapers to catch up on the stories that aren't being covered during the US media's extended mourning festivities.

13. also an Iraqi judge

wants the American that obstructed the Iraqi police during the seizure in Chali`s office..the American seems to be in the USA and he is a power player in the game..check buzz flash for details...

[Stephanie]

14. Do you have a link for that story?

That's another one I missed.

Think of it! In the past few weeks we have seen:

• Americans torture Iraqi prisoners.
  
  
• The neo-cons completely discredited.
  
  
• Chalabi's home raided.
  
  
• Chalabi has given AMERICAN SECRETS to IRAN
  
  
• Neo-cons under investigation for giving Chalabi secrets.
  
  
• Cheney deposed in the Plame investigation.
  
  
• Bush get a LAWYER and prepare to be deposed in the Plame investigation.
  
  
• George Tenet RESIGN mysteriously.

[Occulus]

15. Tenet AND the counterintel guy.

And yes, isn't the timing of all this too perfect?

Washington -- The departure of George Tenet, the director of central intelligence, and the retirement Friday of James Pavitt, the chief of the CIA clandestine service, removes the top two generals who have steered the nation's covert war on terrorism since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
