Crooks and Liars:
It’s infuriating that the Bush administration has gone so far around the Constitution without any accountability from those who are charged with oversight, yet the few journalists and whistleblowers that have tried to shine a light on the actions of the Bush administration are fighting to not go to jail. Case in point: James Risen, the reporter who broke the warrantless wiretapping story and who is now fighting to not go to jail after being subpoenaed to reveal his sources. Rick Karr looks at how the Bush administration has consistently sought to squelch journalists and whistleblowers like Risen, Sibel Edmonds, and even Talking Points Memo.

Instead of people watching Bill Moyers, they are watching Bill O'Reilly, that's how we ended up in this mess with so many ignorant voters.
Going after ones telling the truth...while ones who cover criminals and help start illegal wars like Judith, still play the martyr.
The new Bush Law prosecute whisleblowers. As we're noticed for the pass 7 years our country has been robbed. Carlyle Group with member as the Bush Family, Bin Laden Family, Middle East Leaders and even a former UK Prime Minister have all got 10,000 per cent profit from their investments and have now closed the business. The wire tapping was used for companies like Bear Stearns and others for take over. When Bush took office the US Treasury was opened for thieves to take what they wanted. Contractor, big businesses, GOP Members and others who were friends of the White House. Cheney was only interested in the Oil companies and drilling in Iraq and Afghanistan. Dubai just joined in as investors and we see how well they did with their profit from the US Economy. Dubai got so much money their citizens get free education and health care. Dubai is even loaning CitiBank billions of dollars and buying up shares. But Americans were to busy watching American Idol and Dancing with the Stars to pay attention to the crimes the White House was committing. Now that the bottom has fallen out it's time for the blame game. No Foreign investor can trust the United States any more because of Government is run by liars and crooks. If a person speaks up their get fired or go to jail. Our country is now rooted in corruption, it will only stop when the American people stand up and we get honest Leadership. Right now the Republicans are winning and the American people are losing. I remember when Reagan left office with a large debt to the Economy, it took Bill Clinton 8 years to balance it. But of course Americans look at him as the worse President and Bush is the best. I guess that says alot about Americans.
