I Heard Today That Gonzo Says He Won't Resign And He Will Go Up To The Hill....
to tell Congress that there was no wrong doing. Also - he is to visit each one of the USA's in person as he travels around the country to do that.

Yesterday I brought up the fact that I know that this AG (USA's) scandal is centered around the firing of the 8 we have heard about.

But I wondered about the AG's that didn't get fired. Was any pressure put on them and did they - in fact - cave and do what *Co wanted them to do - and is that why more weren't fired?

Perhaps - some of them would be available for testimony to determine if undue pressure was put on them by this administration as well but that they were intimidated and succumbed to the pressure.

I know that then they may be in trouble - but maybe - just maybe - some would be willing to testify for the sake of the country.

What worries me is this trip that Gonzo is taking. Could he be doing this to put pressure on them not to testify?

1. The Pressure Policy of the Bush Administration
I'm sure this is for pressure. Let the dumbass go to congress! That will be MUST viewing! And all these things are a wonderful shot in the arm for the American people! Well, 70% of them anyway... those that don't have shit for brains.

9. Wasn't that what Bush was doing in his speech when he
said how sorry he was that the USA'a were being exposed to so much press about their firings? Wasn't he implying that if they go ahead with this more bad info may be in the press about them? It sounded like a threat to me...
