If Greg can uncover this, why not the FBI? Why aren't Rove, Griffin, and the rest of them in jail?

Thanks Mr. Palast and staff. Your tireless work gives us information we would never get anywhere else. Your revelations will hopefully result in major changes and indictments. Keep up the great work!

Better question, Who watches the watchmen?

Or, who runs the justice department...

Greg is an incredible investigative journalist who is ignored by the so-called liberal US media.

Funny Sarah Palin supported this scumbag lawyer over Vic Snyder, a Vietnam vet and doctor.

The point is that the level which it should not reduce to is one of race.

Please tell me when the democratic party has intentionally sought to deprive a group of their political voting rights using a ethnicity-based canvasing strategy to block/challenge its members at the polls to gain electoral leverage?

This kind of crap happens on both sides and on all levels. Look into the issues surrounding the senate race in Minnesota. In one county there were more votes than there were registered voters.

you have real Americans with real ideas now

Ralph Nader

your options are limitless

Those that continue to vote for Republicans and Democrats enable them to stay in power.

don't be an enabler of an anti democratic process.

[David Stanley]

Canada has a fair democratic process

using hand written and counted votes.

Yet America has the audacity to claim they are bringing Democracy to Iraq.

Canada has a fair  democratic voting process Americans are left out in the cold.

America is no longer free or democratic.

and Americans are the dumbest beasts of burden on the planet the laughing stock of the free world.Greg an American reporter had to move to England to report reality.

Americans are the laughing stock of the world.

truth + youtube = change

Once you start watching the BBC you will realise how much it is better than any American network the only one that is close to our standards is NBC but that is still a mile off

[newmac]

It took me a while to digest what I was viewing here... I was actually seeing a real news reporter. We don't have that in America. We have kAtiE; but its very refreshing to see an actually investigative reporter like Palast...

[dgalahad]

Both the Republican & Democratit parties should be disbanded and all assets turned over to pay the national debt. From that point, real Americans with real ideas can run for office as public servants not insiders or power brokers!

[Kalydosos]

I'm sorry according to the BBC and CNN this kind of thing only happens in Zimbabwe?
