and consolidate their power. In fact, it is a signature of tyranny. So don't count the Bush Cartel as down, just because Rove and Libby may be found guilty of treason. The real president, Dick Cheney, is behind this, and is just the sort of conscienceless SOB to sacrifice ANYONE--even his closest aides--to stay in power. He still has his hand on legal and illegal nukes, and god knows what-all, and is running this government on behalf of private interests of a most nefarious and traitorous kind, with his nitwit Bush out front. It is going to take quite a lot of courage and will just to curtail his worst intentions and capabilities, let alone to oust him.
We citizens meanwhile have a job to do. The answer to the stink in Washington DC is restoring our right to vote, by throwing Bushite electronic voting machine companies--Diebold, ES&S and brethren--out of the election business NOW--or, at the least, achieving some measure of election transparency with paper ballot backups, no secret, proprietary programming code and strict auditing. The only place where we can get that done is in state/local jurisdictions, where the authority over election systems still resides, and where ordinary people still have some say.
