Comments on: Juror: Libby Was "The Fall Guy"

Jurors Say They Sympathized With Former White House Aide But Simply Didn't Believe His Story

"Republicans are in a unique historical position. They are the first group of people raised on this land, who call themselves Americans, that openly proclaim the virtues of torture, secret prisons, extrajudicial abduction, universal surveillance, and dictatorial government."

... Bush and Cheney have committed high treason against the United States of America and must be impeached and removed from office according to the rules and laws set forth in our Constitution.

They have claimed that they are no longer subject to the authority of the judicial or legislative branches of our government, and may ignore any law they wish at anytime. They have even claimed that the President may "sign" a law, while simultaneously signing another statement claiming he is free to ignore it. They have established a network of unconstitutional secret prisons, where both foreign and domestic citizens who have been illegally abducted are sent indeterminately, without charge or representation. Some have been tortured, and some have even been murdered. They have single handedly erased our sacred and traditional right to privacy by claiming they may place anyone they wish under surveillance at any time, even going so far as to specifically claim they may ignore FISA laws. They have started an illegal preemptive war that has needlessly taken the lives of more than 3,000 of our bravest and most noble fighting men and women.

... Never before has America been faced with such an insidious enemy with more contempt for our Constitution and our American way of life, and these enemies occupy the highest levels of our own government.

The citizens of the United States of America demand that they be impeached and brought to justice, now.

The Juror is speaking what 90% of Americans are thinking:

Where is Rove?
Where is Cheney?
Where is GW Bush?

Now we have the precedence to wrap up a 3 way neck tieing party for Treason!! 6 weeks is all it should take. DO IT!

This Collins is a big mouth. Jurors should not be allowed to do what this guy started to do as soon as the verdict was rendered. We will see this big mouth making money out of his social duty.

Reporter Robert Novak named CIA operative Valerie Plame in a July 14, 2003 column.

Novak attributed his information to "two senior administration officials" -- later identified as President Bush's political adviser, Karl Rove, and Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.

Neither were charged and the investigation is closed. Ya, I would say Libby was the fall guy.

"If the Party could thrust its hand into the past and say this or that even, it never happened%u2014that, surely, was more terrifying than mere torture and death."
George Orwell, 1984

"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed%u2014if all records told the same tale%u2014then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'"
George Orwell, 1984

"Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary."
George Orwell, 1984

Libby's false account of events, he added, was meant to serve as a "blocker ... to cut off all those conversations with people, including the vice president." There is, Fitzgerald said, "a cloud over the White House as to what happened. Don't you think the FBI, the grand jury, the American people are entitled to a straight answer?"

My friends, sometimes the most difficult thing about fighting evil is realizing that it actually exists, and then unambiguously and forcefully calling it what it is.

History shows time and time again that one of evils greatest strengths is its ability to disguise itself as good, or at least a temporary necessity, until that last fatal moment when its revelation becomes clear, indisputable, and inescapable.

So today let us take a clear and unadulterated look into the mirror at ourselves.

Just six years ago we were one of the most respected and admired defenders of democracy and human rights in history. Respected not only by our friends, but even begrudgingly by most of our enemies. In fact, even the fantastic power of our military paled in comparison to the overwhelming might of our moral authority.

Today we are a nation that operates secret prisons occupied by anonymous inmates, illegally abducted and held indefinitely without charge or representation. We are guilty of torture. We are guilty of murder. We are guilty of preemptive war of conquest. We are guilty of the wholesale surveillance of our population, suppressing all hope of privacy and free dissent. And we are guilty of disgracing our nation through the abandonment of even our most basic precepts of morality.

If this is not evil, then nothing we have ever fought against is evil, and nothing we have ever fought for is good.

Let's stick to the facts," Collins said. "This was not a case about, 'Who can we punish for going into Iraq?' We didn't go there. This wasn't about the war."


I'm sure there was a balance between dems-repubs on this jury - and they were able to face their task with objectivity and seriousness - a big hurrah for these Americans !

Untrue.

You have offered your conscience, and pronounced your loyalty, to our great nation.

The prosecutors really need to go after the true criminals in the case. Cheney is the biggest slimeball, Bush is the idiot who does whatever Cheney tells him to do, and Rove is one of Cheney's stoolies.

[monty_4]

I'm betting with a lengthy appeals process and an end-of-term pardon by the president, Libby won't serve day one.

[h0rseracer05]

This is for seven pesos; Your Hatred is void of FACT, just more Rhetoric. I suggest you wallow in your Vile and leave the rest of the World alone. Or better yet, give the rest of the Democrats room to squirm. You are to kind in your assesment that all of the uneducated are from the South. Those you refer to are more likely than not Well educated. They haven't been manipulated like the Liberals of the West or East. When you refer to Christians or people of Faith, what your doing is merely crying out. Because you have no direction and live with no meaning, You're a failure . Individuals like you must find your way, try putting your head into the comode, flush three times to be certain your liberal ways are washed away. This is common practice when Exorcisms are performed on those posessed by liberal tendencies, of course if it doesn't take the first time it must be repeated.
If this doesn't work, the typical "L" should be given a one way ticket to France.

[frankly6]

I'm crying crocodile tears for Libby. He didn't have the decency or the conscience to just tell the truth. He's a fall guy by choice. He'll no doubt be rewarded handsomely for taking one for the team.


Bush's administration is full of former fellons who did the same. That's why they call them neoCONS.

[seven-pesos]

thousands died, maybe millions. but they still love bush in the south.
