Ashcroft is the ONLY one who can appoint

[in_cog_ni_to]

a special prosecutor? Well, what are the chances of that EVER happening? I just saw Tom Harkin talking.... "Ashcroft, who was appointed by Bush will now be investigating Bush. If ever there was a need for a special prosecutor, this is it." Jonathan Carl (CNN) said Ashcroft is the only one who can appoint one??? Damn! Chances are slim to none, of that ever happening.

1. I'm figuring he will appoint one

The spooks will get to him on this.

[burrowowl]

2. He may appoint one

but how 'independent' will he be?

4. I know

like Kissinger being appointed to investigate 911? :(

7. Yup, Rove or Cheney or whoeveritwas dam near came out

and told the CIA, "cross us and we will put your people in mortal danger." I can't think of a dumber thing to do then make threats like that to the CIA.

3. I'm hoping

it gets so bad, he won't have a choice but to name a SP... unless he wants to look as partisan as we know he is. This is the fox guarding the hen house, for crying out loud.

5. slim to none ?

I'd have to think its zero unless a few million people show up on Penn Ave and scream for a few weeks.

6. A pedophile will appoint

a rapist to investigate the crime scene.
PeRRRRfectly logical...
These people are f@#king SHAMELESS!

8. They always seem to

have all angles covered. The CIA is going to have to pile on the garbage they have in order to force the issue, I think.

9. MAYBE, just MAYBE...

They will bring forth OTHER investigations on top of this one?
Like, oh say...
-who flew the Bin Ladens out after 9-11?
-who ordered the stand down of the high jacked airplanes?
just to name a few...

10. My fingers are crossed!

I hope that is exactly what the CIA does!

11. This is my thinking also

More and more leaks just may start coming especially after the Chimp's comment last night about there being too many leaks in Washington.

If Tenet backs down now, he might as well just move to Mars because they will destroy him.

And read this that John Dean wrote about WH & Asscrack are trying to shut down ANY information. This is very important -

Bush's Unofficial Official Secrets Act:
How the Justice Department Has Pushed to Criminalize The Disclosure of Non-Security Related Government Information

12. Whoa!

That is quite an article Mr. Dean wrote. Scary! This administration makes my head spin. They are everywhere! Like RATS! Just knawing their way through our civil rights/liberties.

[HEyHEY]

13. That is just wrong

Such a position should be voted on not appointed
