So walsh was out to unfairly persecute Bush and crew?  Merde!  This has 
got to be one of the great stupid myths of our time reaching right down 
there with the "Jewish Stab In The Back Myth that flooded Germany after 
WWI.    No.    Walsh, (a Republican remember), simply did his job.  What 
the Iranscam crew wanted was juerk who would try, get nowhere, and then 
give up more or less.  What they got was Walsh, a bulldog who did not 
give up no matter how discouraging the prospect of busting up this 
coverup.  And ~~ $30 million was spent.  He also has 11 convictions to 
date, tho' Ollie and Poindexter slipped the noose due to the help of 
Conservatives in Congress with their ill advised "immunity".   Experts 
said that would make it hard to convict and they were right, damn it.
  But in the end, Walsh caught Weinberger RED HANDED.  The bastard stated 
under oath more than once he did not have notes, while he indeed did.

I was taught in school in 7th grade civics that we were a country of law 
where no man was above the law.  My teachers were made liars by Bush and 
crew.  The whole criminal enterprise stinks, it's coverup stinks, and the 
pardons are unforgivable.  

  This may have backfired tho'.   Walsh. old softy that he was, never 
really pursued Bush or Reagan.  But that may have just changed.  Bush is 
now the only target left, and I hope Walsh nails that lying asshole to 
the hearing room wall.

As far as i am concerned, everyone of the bastards involved in this sorry 
mess should have gone to trial and upon being found guilty sent to prison 
for long terms, not so much as punishment for it's own sake, but to 
discourage others who in the future may have noted that in our nation, 
you can usually get away witth this crap without harsh penalties if there 
are any penalties at all.  This is just asking for more of the same in 
the future.

But the belief in the lie that Walsh is just harrassing people for 
politics or similar lies and balderdash like this is in my estimation, 
the mark of a Fool.  

I want Walsh to nail that bastard Bush.

I want it to be drawn out, nasty, and distressing.  I want to see Bush 
reduced to a convicted felon.  So that no president in the future will 
think that crap like this carries no penalty except embarressment, and 
only a modicum of that.

Otherwise, Law and order and justice will have sickened and withered a 
bit more in this Nation.

George Bush and his pals are morally, ethically and intellectually 
corrupt.   I hope George pays the price so others will take their legal 
duties and oaths seriously.



Pope Charles      No Slack for this bunch of fools.
Lawrence Walsh, the only true hero so far in this whole sorry mess.
