Friday?

**The rumors are flying on the internet again. Some people are saying that Friday is the day for the Rove indictment announcement. We will see. We will keep our fingers crossed.

**The Senate committee questioning CIA nominee General Hayden has provided some tidbits about Bush's domestic spying program. Here is my summary:

(1)Republican Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas is carrying the water for the Bush administration. There is no way that any truth will be revealed with Roberts in charge.

(2)Hayden said the program is legal. I guess if you just declare it legal, then, according to the Bush administration, it must be legal.

(3)Hayden mentioned he had briefed Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) and DeWine did not see any problems. You could tell DeWine anything and he'd agree with any line put out by the Bush administration.

(4)Hayden said he wants to do some risk-taking. I hope he isn't talking about taking risks with our civil rights!

Let me remind everyone that the terrorist attacks took place during the Bush administration even though they had been warned repeatedly and they were even warned by foreign governments. Because this administration was asleep at the wheel, we are paying for their mistakes.

**Al Gore's big movie, An Inconvenient Truth, is coming out starting May 24th, and there are some ads attacking the idea of global warming. The group in opposition to Al Gore's documentary is financially backed by big oil companies. Why do the Republicans and big oil hate the Earth?
