Wayne Madsen Report

The GOP spinmeisters are claiming that the outing of a covert CIA agent and her network was not a conspiracy and was no big thing. However, a last minute visit by the prosecutor to the President's criminal defense attorney after Rove's attorney gave the prosecutor new evidence that caused him to "pause" means one thing -- Bush is also a target of the criminal probe. Bush's last words in Leakgate may very well be, "Et tu Karl?"


Et tu Karl?

Bush's Supreme Court pick, Samuel Alito (or "Scalito," since he's an ideological twin of Opus Dei adherent Antonin Scalia), is engineered by Karl Rove as a way to change the songsheet in DC. Now there will be discussions about invoking the Senate "Gang of 14" to filibuster this extremely conservative 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals judge who is anti-Roe v. Wade, anti-privacy, anti-civil rights, and pro-corporation. However, the special prosecutor is singing from a different songsheet.


Alito nomination: A Karl Rove diversion

Another diversion, engineered by neo-con Minnesota Republican Senator Norm Coleman, was to recently refer Senate testimony by British MP George Galloway on the UN Oil-for-Food program to the Department of Justice, US Attorneys for DC and Manhattan, and the Manhattan District Attorney for criminal investigation. It would be surprising if any law enforcement official takes seriously Coleman's charges or those of former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker that Galloway benefited from oil concessions from Saddam Hussein. The "evidence" Coleman proffered was based on crude forgeries obtained from circles associated with bank embezzler and known prevaricator Ahmad Chalabi, who is now, not coincidentally, Iraq's Oil Minister. The neocons are still upset that Galloway trounced one of their own, Labor's Oona King, a pro-Likud shill, in east London's largely East Asian Bethnal Green and Bow constituency.
