DES MOINES, Iowa (Reuters) - On Friday four American citizens attempted to make a “citizens arrest” of Karl Rove, former top aide to President George W. Bush . They were arrested themselves, instead. Rove, one of the recognized members of the Neo-Con ‘brain-trust’, has thumbed his nose at a Congressional subpoena by repeatedly refusing to appear before the committee. Rove left the country the very day of his second scheduled appearance and did not have the common courtesy to notify the committee of his intentions. Contempt of Congress and and issuance of a warrant for his arrest is being considered by the committee. “It should be Karl Rove in that van. (the paddy-wagon) War Criminal!” one of a dozen protesters shouted as the four were put into a police van outside a Des Moines country club where Rove spoke at a private state Republican party fundraiser. Chet Guinn, a retired Methodist Minister, was among those led away. “To be silent when major crimes are being committed against all humanity makes us accomplices,” Gwinn told reporters just before his arrest, which took place when protesters stepped past the gate to the private country club.
Such is the price of fighting for the Republic.

in the hope that I would be flamed by 'proud' Americans. The fact that I have not been is actually rather sad! by kwalsh (4 articles, 0 quicklinks, 7 diaries, 275 comments [10 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Thursday, Jul 31, 2008 at 9:00:33 PM (0+)

Reply: Laugh and the world laughs with you
Frankly, your first post here probably left folks scratching their heads. I know explaining the joke is a sure way to ruin it but perhaps you could elaborate and indulge us. BTW, posting a cryptic post just to elicit flamers is a rather pathetic game to play, don't you think? by DC Rapier (28 articles, 73 quicklinks, 56 diaries, 114 comments [1 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Friday, Aug 1, 2008 at 8:27:10 AM (0+)

The shining light on the hill?
The US has gone from being a positive force for change to a sinking ship. It is now too late to to stop the US from going down. Political machinations now have a certain comic quality. A little like arguing over deckchair positions on the Titanic. Once you get beyond the tradgedy you may as well laugh. by kwalsh (4 articles, 0 quicklinks, 7 diaries, 275 comments [10 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Aug 3, 2008 at 6:14:18 PM (0+)

I teach Risk Finance.
You are obviously a decent person and I feel sorry for you. I know I'm pathetic. I marched against the Iraq war. I've seen the total lack of understanding of the Arabic culture in our collective decision making. I can see the chickens of poor risk management comming home to roost. At times I have wished that I could know less and thereby have the calmness that comes from not seeing it coming. by kwalsh (4 articles, 0 quicklinks, 7 diaries, 275 comments [10 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Sunday, Aug 3, 2008 at 6:23:45 PM (0+)
