Not a problem, just use Bush's favorite tactic, Extraordinary Rendition.

I have just thought of the perfect use for Blackwater troops. Hunting down Karl Rove and Halliburton executives to be brought back and tried in court.

and we might as well grab that pedophile Roman Polanski while we're at it.

and if they happen to just come back in multiple pieces.. oh well.

Why do the Republican ass lickers continue to cover for these criminals. Is it not obvious to everyone they are liars. Why not clear the air and not cover for them. I sit in awe at their complicity with these law breakers.

There is not a single Main Stream News organization with the balls to cover this story. The story is alive only on Liberal and Progressive Blogs and publications.

didnt they use the patriot act to track down the dems who left texas rather than vote themselves out of power??

cant the dems use the patriot act to find rove and drag his ass back in chains?

long planned trip my ass

Maybe ball-less miss nancy could practice a little extraordinary rendition of it's own. Nobody in this country has to follow any laws,right miss nancy, so why don't you do some lawbreaking yourself? Just pick up Karl and disappear him until the next hearing. And may-be pick up harriet and josh for good measure.

what did you expect?

well, let him leave and bush and cheney and cundi when this
administration is over. just makes it easier for them to be
relocated to the haigh for their war crimes by extraordinary
rendition, which by the way they deserve.

should have taken rove's fucking passport away along time ago.

I personally can't wait for the War Crimes Tribunals when the current douchebags leave the country for one of their little vacations.

Wonder if he's "visiting " a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty. That would be telling.

Anywhooo, Conyers I'm sure will send another nasty letter. Those feisty dems!! No one pushes them around.

Who is Mr. Cannon?

Karma is finally catching up with "the architect".

Pull up a chair, Mr. Rove, we have a few questions for you

WASHINGTON - Karl Rove had never been so agreeable.
The former chief strategist to President Bush was the only witness listed on the agenda for Thursday's meeting of the House Judiciary Committee, and he proved to be uncharacteristically contained.
Rep. Linda Sanchez, chairman of the subcommittee holding the hearing, declared herself ''extremely disappointed and deeply concerned'' about Rove's behavior.
Rove was silent.
Sanchez spoke of his ''role in the alleged politicization of the Justice Department'' and his hand in ''the unprecedented firing of nine U.S. attorneys in 2006.''
Rove offered no defense.
''If such allegations were true,'' said Rep. Chris Cannon, Utah, the ranking Republican on the panel, ''they would be very serious.''
Rove did not dispute this.
There was good reason for The Architect's quiet: He was out of the country. He had no intention of appearing before Congress, and he had sent the panel the equivalent of a doctor's note - from no less a medical authority than White House counsel Fred Fielding - saying he did not have to respond to the congressional subpoena.
...

Three little words:

Cut
and
Run

Why is Mr. Cannon being allowed to interrogate the committee and not the other way around. What's going on here? Shouldn't he be under oath?

Who is Mr. Cannon?

Rep. Chris Cannon, Utah, the ranking Republican on the panel

Ah

Can we put him on a terrorist watch list?

Whats even more pathetic is the Democatic leadership does not even have the strategic skill to bring attention to these republicans crimes against the nation and the constitution.

I've lost all hope for any opposition to the Republican Crime Syndicate in America.

You don't say. "The Architect" flees the country. No how can this be?

And now a Preview of a Post-Bushes Brain World

As the weather gets hotter, the nation starts to sweat, even as the consequences of Bushonomics have become more telling. Last week, for example, there were news reports of Christian prayer groups, praying for lower gas prices at gas stations. Hookers are hooking for gas cards, offering defined services for $25 or $50 gas cards. A nationwide gasoline retailer has been reported offering $5 off coupons on Zoloft, if you buy 10 gallons of gas, a new form of cross marketing under Bushonomics. There has also been a push in Congress by the Big Pharmaceutical companies to turn a variety of prescription anti-depressant drugs into over the counter drugs because demand for them has soared so much. The pharmaceutical industry is right because it would bring the price down. It should be remembered that this regime has purposely kept prices of antidepressants cheap anyway. Of course, Bushonian Regimes understand the consequences of Bushonomics to the Joe Six Packers, and they try to make it easier on them, albeit in small ways.

Leave the man alone! He's busy setting up Bush's new Ant Farm in Paraguay...

The same Cheney's going to do after January 2009 to escape trail for his lies and war crimes and to once again thumb is nose at the law and America justice. Except he'll probably flee to Halliburton's new headquarters in Dubai http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/business/12halliburtoncnd.html?_r=1&ex...

Better arrest him soon!

If anything is going to happen to the Bush mafiosi it will not be at the behest this toothless Congress.

Inherent contempt indeed.

My contempt for them is growing daily, inherently.

The only hope is some law observing foreign land gives Rove a Pinochet moment.

He went to Sweden to give a talk.

Logan: takes some nuts to write that headline. I doubt the absence of malice defense will work.

Bush knew.

I hope this means that someone found the 3 million "missing" @rnc.org and @whitehouse.gov emails.

What a coward. Just as I would suspect from the Bush and Chaney clan.

Why does Karl Rove hate America?

And he should have been arrested for this. Rove don't do comedy... intentionally.

Damn shame the subpoenas are not flying like during the Clinton administration.

There were thousands and they testified everyday.

The only conclusion is the dems are covering up their crimes like with Iran contra and Nixon.

This LA Times article:

Ex-Bush press secretary Tony Snow dies of cancer at 53
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/presidentbush/2008/07/ex-bush-press-s.html

contains this sentence:

Karl Rove, Bush's counselor and chief political strategist, was traveling in the Crimea this morning but described himself as devastated at the news.

in case it's not been answered:

... Rep. Chris Cannon, Utah, the ranking Republican on the panel ...

http://www.sltrib.com/opinion/ci_9855680

Do you suppose they'll write another stern letter?

My friends, don't despair. By November, people will be dirt poor because of Bush's economic policies, and will be forced to vote Democratic, Oh wait, it is time to despair!

You'd think FISA would have caused Rove's fears about the Dems growing a spine to disappear.

@ 60 Marge -

"PS HEY why don’t we get the International committe grab him while he is out of the country and try him for war crimes……..he wouldn’t be under US protection then."

My thought exactly .. wouldn't it be wonderful if ..

Obstruction of Justice was a sufficient crime to warrant impeachment.

if the WH told Rove to ignore the house subpoena, that is obstruction.

not that I'm holding my breath.

I have daydreams about citizen's arrests.

Of course, it would just get the arrester shot.

Yes, but he first went to Sweden. Here's an interview: linky

Q U E S T I O N:

Why has Rove been allowed to go on the public air waves and spew 'his" facts via FOXPRAVDA about Siegelman and Plame yet is allowed to refuse going before any Congressional Committee?

If Rove can refuse to testify because of Executive privilege, shouldn't that extend to discourse in very, VERY public channels like FOXPRAVDA?

.

Hopefully rove mistakenly traveled to a country where they actually flush turds down the toilet.

We need to clean up our own mess. The citizenry in this country needs to take responsibility and get the respect of the world back by handling this issue at home. Enough of hoping the world community will take care of our matters for us.

look all the cute comments are entertaining, but the truth is we need to put our efforts towards finding Rove, exposing him, and getting him tired for war crimes. There is a much better chance of him paying for his crimes if he is arrested overseas. And, if he is arrested, then he can be held for contempt of Congress, then brought back in shackles.

C'mon people- clever comments are worthless- they will not bring the war criminals to trial. Let's do that first, then we can make cute bon mots..

Karl in the Crimea — Rove, not Marx

Karl Rove is roving the beaches of the Crimea, not the committee rooms of Congress.

Dave Lindorff: The Bush Family's Bad Latin Real Estate Investment

"Last month, a former Roman Catholic Bishop with leftist, populist tendencies, Fernando Lugo, surprised almost everyone in Paraguay, and no doubt President Bush, by winning the national presidential election, ousting the Colorado Party for the first time in 61 years. There is talk that among other things, Lugo is thinking of returning Paraguay to the community of nations, by signing some of those extradition agreements."

Whose going to do that, Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats? At this point I will take whatever help we can get. Any country that nabs Roves and brings him to justice for his role in the war crimes and war profiteering of the Bush Regime will forever have my gratitude and probably the gratitude of the majority of Americans.

I agree. It is just preferential to not have to be bailed out by some other country. But your right.. I'll take it if that is the only way to bring these assholes to justice.

Lugo Lugo he's our man. If the Dems won't do it Lugo can.

Imagine the ratings bonaza for the network that covered Rove's trail if he were captured and brought to justice abroad. It would be bigger that O J Simpson. Of course FOXaganda, ABC (Foxaganda Lite) and the majority of cable news wouldn't cover the trial. I wouldn't miss a day of it though, I would have my popcorn and soda and my chair in front of the TV tuned in every night!

He did not actually claim Exec Priv.

But your question is one of reasons why Exec Priv was rejected (anyway) by the Committee.

Cause he's a bully and a coward. His day of justice has to come.

Running and hiding like the cowardly little weasel he is...like all bullies, right wingers, Bush cabal member and Bush enablers are.

I hope that fat little weasel dies a miserable death in some god forsaken third world country while trying to avoid extradition.
