This won't go anywhere

Douglas Feith, a chief architect of the disaster in Iraq, certainly deserves to be investigated and ultimately prosecuted for helping to cause untold misery and death. As Undersecretary of Defense, Feith was intimately involved in the manipulation of intelligence of the Iraqi war. Feith and his minions also conducted secret, unlawful meetings with Iranian arms dealer Manucher Ghorbanifar, in Italy which credibly implicates them in the forged yellow cake document scandal. They are also implicated in hatching plans to incite civil unrest in Iran – a violation of US law. In February 2004, the Senate Select Intelligence Committee (SSCI), under the “leadership” of Sen. Pat Roberts, announced that it had agreed to expand its investigation of prewar Iraq intelligence from just intelligence errors to a more controversial arena - whether intelligence was exaggerated or twisted by government officials.

It is now November 2005 and the report on these activities is yet to appear. The reason is that the Pentagon and Feith are stonewalling, refusing to cooperate with investigators. The fearless Roberts won't compel any compliance because he spends too much time on his knees in front of the Bushies and apparently has his head caught in their rears also. Feith, having apparently left the government this past summer due to tea leave reading, is attempting to hide from the investigation.

The ranking Democrat on the Senate committee, Sen. Jay Rockefeller stated in October, “Some of these guys may have crossed the lines into illegalities. Can you imagine if during Iran-Contra the executive branch had said, Were not going to provide you any more information because one of your members suggested that one of our members may have acted illegally? In those days, neither Republicans nor Democrats would have stood for that for one minute.”

That was then – this is now. Under the disloyal leadership of a Bush suck up like Pat Roberts, you can be sure nothing that is truly due for prosecution will actually occur. The Republican mantra is not justice – it's coverup. Hope Kansas is proud of their man.
