seek the resignation of AG Abu Gonzales

* calipendence:

"Perhaps another reason that Hastert is increasingly on the target list of the administration is the concern that as third in line to the president, not only is Hastert a liability to them of potentially being impeached himself for his wrongdoing, should he take power before the Dems take over congress, but also now they're concerned that he won't be one to be a "good boy" and give them pardons once he is put in place as president were Bush and Cheney to resign before the end of the year. He's looking more and more to be NOT the Gerald Ford they might want in charge to do their bidding, on many levels."

hmmm - interesting.

* emptywheel has the details of Libby's discovery. I'd LOVE to see the drafts of Judy's "My Four Hours Testifying in the Federal Grand Jury Room"

"But what incidents of this type (Haditha massacre) do underscore is that wars are not something that are to be routine or casual tools in foreign policy. The outright eagerness and excitement for more and more wars that we see so frequently from some circles is not only unseemly and ugly unto itself -- although it is that -- but it is also so reckless and unfathomably foolish. Every war spawns countless enemies, entails incidents which severely undermine a nation's credibility and moral standing, ensures that the ugliest and most violent actions will be undertaken in the country's name, and, even in the best of cases, wreaks unimaginable human suffering and destruction."

"Bush hoped to mollify Hastert, one of his most reliable legislative allies, at a time of increasingly sour relations with the GOP-controlled Congress, according to White House sources. Tempers rose so high this week that some House Republicans threatened to seek the resignation of Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales"

"Yikes. This does not bode well for Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA).

His former aide, Brett Pfeffer, who pled guilty earlier this year to bribery charges, has been sentenced to eight years in prison.

Eight years. And this is a guy who cooperated, and is continuing to cooperate, with the government in their case against Jefferson."
