Next week, I'm informed via troubled White House sources, will see the full unveiling of Karl Rove's fall election strategy. He's intending to line up 9/11 families to accuse McCain, Warner and Graham of delaying justice for the perpetrators of that atrocity, because they want to uphold the ancient judicial traditions of the U.S. military and abide by the Constitution. He will use the families as an argument for legalizing torture, setting up kangaroo courts for military prisoners, and giving war crime impunity for his own aides and cronies. This is his "Hail Mary" move for November; it's brutally exploitative of 9/11; it's pure partisanship; and it's designed to enable an untrammeled executive.

Just when you thought they were already at the bottom of the sewer they manage to go deeper.

1. Is he going to talk with the Jersey Girls?

Or just the "right" families?

2. This, the 9/11 film, smear strategy are all connected

Anybody who does not think this gang will stop at nothing is delusional. They will be so outrageous that it will help obscure the behind the scenes voter disenfranchisement and voting machine manipulation that will take place on a massive scale. Dems regain the House or Senate? I would be shocked if it happens. Absolutely stunned; stealing elections is the only thing they do well.

3. They want to replace the

"Ancient judicial traditions of the U.S. military" and replace them with the even more ancient "I am the King damn it, and what I say goes" form of jurisprudence.
