The Long Hot Summer

Ain't nothin' goin' away,

'cause we are not going to let it.

Words of Power: Hard Rain Journal 5-18-07: Is This The Week The USA Got Its Mojo Back?:

It is, as I have said before, going to be a long, hot summer in Beltwayistan.

The DoJ purge scandal is not going to go away. The betrayal of Valeria Plame's identity as a US secret agent is not going to go away. The Bush-Cheney national insecurity team's pre-9/11 failure to heed numerous intelligence community warnings of an imminent attack by Al Qaeda is not going to go away. The Bush-Cheney's regime's violations of the Geneva Accords, including its authorization and institutionalization of torture is not going to go away. The Bush-Cheney's regime utter contempt for the Bill of Rights, including the suspension of habeas corpus, is not going to go away. The Bush-Cheney national insecurity team's wanton 'sexing' up of intelligence in the lead up to the invasion and occupation of Iraq is not going to go away. None of it is going away.
