Bush BLACKMAILS Congress?
Today Bush said if Congress doesn't approve HIS policy of torture and illegal wiretapping, he'll pull the plug on those programs altogether. It was no idle threat.

So can we say with confidence that he just blackmailed Congress? Sorta like saying, "If you folks don't do what I say, I'm gonna pull the plug on the whole thing and you'll be left holdin' the bag?"

I call it for what it was. Blackmail. I think it's getting serious.

3. Are there specifics
on the legislation? Bill numbers, effectiveness date (torture grandfathered in)?

I think we should email Congress D and R, Senate and Representatives and urge they vote "Yes" on the Bill to Exonerate George W Bush from War Crimes (or some name like that).

6. How unusual...
What exactly was anthrax, if not blackmail on behalf of the Bush program?
