WIWNT: News for You 01/20/06

Here are some of today's blog entries and articles from around the net that I found interesting.

Jack Abramoff
The Washingtonian is reporting that they have viewed at least 5 photographs of President Bush with indicted Republican lobbyist, and 2004 Bush Pioneer, Jack Abramoff. See for yourself here.

Fired Up! is reporting that one of the many investigations surrounding Jack Abramoff is going all the way to Hong Kong. Former house majority leader Tom DeLay and possible replacement Rep Roy Blunt both seem to have connections. See for yourself here.


CIA Leak
Reuters is reporting that lawyer's for Dick Cheney's indicted former Chief of Staff Scooter Libby are planning to issue subpoenas to journalists and news organizations for documents to be used at his trial involving the leak of a CIA operative's name. This is expected to delay proceedings. See for yourself here.


National Security/Big Brother, Bush-style
Google continues to resist a Justice Department subpoena for records of all customer searches during a specific week in an effort to uncover how accessible adult websites are to kids. The Justice Department claims that this is the best way to get the necessary information. Google claims that they cannot comply because this will jeopardize some of their trade secrets, the information Justice is looking for cannot be ascertained in this way, oh and that whole plastic customer privacy thing too. See for yourself here, and here.

From the Washington Post, true American patriot Karl Rove has come out of hiding for a minute to defend domestic spying and accuse critics of being of a pre-9/11 mindset unable to adjust to this new and substantial thre....blah, blah, blah. You know, YOU LEAKED THE NAME OF A COVERT CIA AGENT WHOSE JOB IT WAS TO MONITOR THE PROLIFERATION OF WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND THEN YOU REPEATEDLY LIED ABOUT IT. On the subject of national security, you've proven that you are not to be trusted. As far as the legality of the program, I have so far been unable to successfully locate anything in your bio which would validate your credentials as a constitutional legal expert, SO SHUT UP! And climb back down into your despicable little spider hole. See for yourself here.

According to the AP, former Pentagon analyst Lawrence A. Franklin was sentenced to 12 years in prison for providing classified information to an Israeli diplomat and members of a pro-Israel lobbying group. Franklin previously worked with many top Pentagon officials, including Douglas Feith. See for yourself here.
