UPDATE: A SECOND DOUBLE TRAITOR IN CHENEY'S OFFICE !
>
The two intrepid RAW STORY investigative journalists who brought us news of the treacherous John Hannah barely 24 hours ago, are reporting today that he isn't the only cornered rat spilling the beans on Cheney's conspiracy to lie to the American people and trick the constitutional government into ok-ing his and the neo-Cons' dream of eliminating Saddam and occupying Iraq. Today Jason Leopold and Larisa Alexandrovna report that Cheney's traitor-ridden office has produced another snitch willing to turn state's evidence on Cheney for a lenient deal: David Wurmser. According to their RAW STORY report Wurmser is providing Fitzgerald evidence that the illegal CIA leak of Valerie Plame's name was a coordinated effort by Cheney’s office to discredit the agent's husband (forthright and courageous Bush critic Ambassador Joe Wilson).
Wurmer is Cheney's Middle East advisor, having come over from Bolton's nest of conspirators when he was Under Secretary of State for Arms Control. Wurmser admits to having taken part in the long-rumored WHIG plot (White House Iraq Group), a shadowy, secretive cabal of Bush Regime extremist war-mongers who would stop at NOTHING to get the U.S. to attack Iraq who were in cahoots with the extremist Likkud Party in Israel. Wurmser has evidence that Cheney was present at these meetings, tantamount to treason. The RAW STORY report makes Wurmser sound like a real worm-- "Wurmser’s cooperation with Fitzgerald would certainly come as no surprise to those who have been following his career. Last year, he was questioned by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for his possible role in leaking U.S. security secrets to Israel.
According to a 2004 story in the Washington Post, the FBI interviewed officials in Cheney’s office and the Pentagon, including Hannah and Wurmser, former Defense Policy Board member Richard Perle, Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith and Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, to determine if they were involved in leaking U.S. security secrets to Israel, the former head of the Iraqi National Congress Ahmed Chalabi and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)."
A more vile gaggle of traitors and criminals has never been so embedded in the heart of the American government! "Wurmser was the lead author of a 1996 policy paper for then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu titled 'A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm.' It called for removing Saddam from power in Iraq as part of a broad strategy to transform the region and remove radical regimes. Eight months before 9/11, Wurmser called for joint U.S.-Israeli air strikes on Iraq, Iran, Syria and Libya." I wonder if you have to work for a corporate mass media mouthpiece like the NEW YORK TIMES to get a Pulitzer or if Alexandrovna and Leopold will be eligible.
EARLY EVENING WHIG UPDATE!
It wasn't that many hours ago that I was recounting how the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS' only purpose was to cover the floors of subways and here I am quoting them twice in one day! They actually have a great story that explains what the treasonous WHIGs were up to, who they were, and how they infiltrated and undermined the NEW YORK TIMES!
In a story today by James Meek and Ken Bazinet, THE NEWS says it has testimony that explains how this little right-wing cabal "morphed into a virtual hit squad that took aim at critics who questioned its claims" and how that led to the mess WHIG members Cheney. Libby, et al are in now. Other WHIP conspirators that I wasn't aware of this morning are Karen Hughes, James Wilkinson, Nicholas Calio, and (lo and behold!), Judith Miller. According to the DAILY NEWS' source, "They were funneling information to Judy Miller. Judy was a charter member."
NY TIMES publishers and editors don't believe in ritual suicide, do they?

after all this and still I can only think of a handful of democrats I would vote for anymore.
Ted Kennedy is one. And Paul Wellstone was another.
Note that Paul Hackett, who ran for congress a couple of months ago in the super heavy republican Cincinnati district, almost picked off a victory. Now, he's running for Senate!
It keeps on getting stranger by the minute!
AND DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.
Tomorrow's FINANCIAL TIMES is running a story called CHENEY CABAL HIJACKED FOREIGN POLICY using Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff as the source!
Edward Alden in the FT writes that "Cheney and a handful of others had hijacked the government's foreign policy apparatus, deciding in secret to carry out policies that had left the US weaker and more isolated in the world, the top aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell claimed on Wednesday. In a scathing attack on the record of President George W. Bush, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Mr Powell until last January, said: 'What I saw was a cabal between the vice-president of the United States, Richard Cheney, and the secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld, on critical issues that made decisions that the bureaucracy did not know were being made.
Now it is paying the consequences of making those decisions in secret, but far more telling to me is America is paying the consequences.'"
Alden says Wilkerson, speaking at a Washington think tank (the New America Foundation) explains that all this secret decision making led to a number of serious mistakes from refusing to engage with North Korea to snubbing European efforts to work out a deal with Iran over nuclear weapons. It was the harshest attack on the Bush Regime by a former senior official since criticisms by Richard Clarke and Paul O'Neill last year.
Wilkerson slashed into BushCo on every international front, from Abu Ghraib ("The detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere was 'a concrete example' of the decision-making problem, with the president and other top officials in effect giving the green light to soldiers to abuse detainees. 'You don't have this kind of pervasive attitude out there unless you've condoned it.')" to his choice of
Condoleezza Rice as secretary of state (she was "'part of the problem'. Instead of ensuring that Mr Bush received the best possible advice, 'she would side with the president to build her intimacy with the president'").
Alden's piece makes clear that Wilkerson feels that "the military, particularly the army and marine corps, is overstretched and demoralized. Officers, Mr. Wilkerson claimed, 'start voting with their feet, as they did in Vietnam. . . and all of a sudden your military begins to unravel.' Mr Wilkerson said former president George H.W. Bush 'one of the finest presidents we have ever had' understood how to make foreign policy work. In contrast, he said, his son was 'not versed in international relations and not too much interested in them either. There's a vast difference between the way George H.W. Bush dealt with major challenges, some of the greatest challenges at the end of the 20th century, and effected positive results in my view, and the way we conduct diplomacy today.'”
All very interesting, but isn't it significant that for Wilkerson's story one STILL has to turn to the FINANCIAL TIMES--as opposed to, say, the more-or-less equivalent U.S. publication, the WALL STREET JOURNAL?
Which brings us back to Timcanhear's point, that actual in-country opposition, supposedly some outfit called the Democratic Party, has yet to present the country with an alternative to the finally discredited As-Far-Right-as-the-Eye-Can-See Republicans.
