DENVER — The arrest of a man named Steven Howards in June 2006 after he approached Vice President Dick Cheney at a Colorado ski resort and denounced the war in Iraq might have seemed, at the time, no more than a blip on the vice president’s schedule.

But now the blip has become a blowup, with Secret Service agents — under oath in court depositions — accusing one another of unethical and perhaps even illegal conduct in the handling of Mr. Howards’s arrest and the official accounting of it.

The revelations arise from a lawsuit Mr. Howards filed against five Secret Service agents, accusing them of civil rights and free-speech violations. They offer a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Secret Service, which usually wears the standoffish, plainclothes cool of its mission like a cloak of invisibility.

Start questioning them separately under oath, and all of a sudden they're turning on one another, giving out all sorts of damning details. I wonder what might have happened if the 9/11 Whitewash Commission had questioned Bush and Cheney under those circumstances?

Which keeps the minions loyal??? Methinks the "grunts" are starting to realize they're "cannon fodder" just as much as our troops in Eye-rack are. I also believe that the smart ones are starting to see the writing on the wall: it's all going to shit and SOMEONE, as usual, will be left holding the bag. And when you examine past history, you know it's not going to be Gee-dumbya or darth cheney or any other bushie. They just create the fucked up messes, they never take responsibility for them. Case in point: the life and times of george w. bush*.

which is what I thought might happen, since this Administration appears to be able to have members break laws with impunity. Maybe they realized they were the low men on the totem pole and would be thrown to the wolves if it were politically expedient.

a small article in the back of the paper, next to the hemorrhoid treatment ad, telling us that poor Mr Howard has expired due to an unfortunate accident, may he RIP.

Oh, or falsifying intelligence data for an illegal war. Or... uh, so much to list...

take a look at him convicted of perjury

and do they really think Cheney can help them

NO
who are you protecting???

if your protecting Cheney your stupid

no- if you're incapable of using the correct contraction, you're stupid.

Mr. McLaughlin said Mr. Reichle, who has since been transferred to Guam, asked him in a call several hours after the encounter to say that there had been an assault to bolster justification for the arrest.

Guam? Jeebus. At least when Henry VIII exiled you, you got to go to France. Cross Cheney and you end up in freaking Guam.

Kinda like deep East Texas, but with more entertainment (for the Japanese honeymooners).

is he under Military guard

and I bet there's no place to work for the guvmint except on one of those bases....

but not land of the free.



Republicans are traitors. The media whores are traitors. I want my country back!

Once for expressing his opinion and again for filing the lawsuit. :yourock:
