POLL: LIBBY INDICTMENT HITS MAJOR NERVE

By Will Lester, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The recent indictment of Vice President Cheney's top aide has struck a nerve with the American public. Four in five, 79%, said the indictment of former Cheney aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby on perjury and other charges is important to the nation, according to a poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.

Pew noted that in September 1998, 65% said President Clinton's lies under oath were important. Clinton was impeached over his handling of an affair with Monica Lewinsky, but was acquitted by the Senate on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.

Libby was charged with lying to investigators and a grand jury during an investigation of his role in revealing the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame, wife of an outspoken critic of the war against Iraq.

Most Americans, six in 10, say they do not think the news about Libby's indictment has gotten too much coverage. [Maybe too little? - HR]

The concerns about Libby's case come at a time that a growing number of people, 43%, now say U.S. and British leaders were mostly lying when they claimed before the Iraq war that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, while an equal number said they were misinformed by bad intelligence.

That's up from 31% who felt in February 2004 that the leaders were lying, while 49% said they got bad intelligence.

Two-thirds of Democrats say U.S. and British political leaders were lying about weapons of mass destruction and half of independents feel that way. Only one in 10 Republicans said that was the case.

The telephone poll of 1,201 adults was taken Nov. 3-6 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

BUT NOW? Is Syria next?

Under what pretext? Using what fictitious reason that is concocted in order to conceal the real reason?

And now the racket managing many of the the secret services and the Pentagon's genocidal 'Dog of War' - has, according to William Arkin, prepared another bloody 'Road to Damascus" - a new Calvary into a growing murderous quagmire: Syria.

Washington Post's William M. Arkin on (the totalitarian) so called 'Homeland Security' and it's plans for more American and other cannon fodder.

'POL POT' KISSINGER

'Cannon fodder' of which one of the worst war criminals on Earth, the neocon 'Pol Pot' #1 of the past 55 years - Henry Kissinger - said how they should be seen and treated: "Military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy." There are many which hope Kissinger and his ilk will die slowly and in pain.

The warning story in the neocon's 'Whitewashington Post' by William M. Arkin has this headline:

Wag the Damascus?

Last year, U.S. intelligence agencies and military planners received instructions to prepare up-to-date target lists for Syria and to increase their preparations for potential military operations against Damascus."
