Re: HL Dec. 20; Bush leaning to more troops; Druen blows the whistle on the big boss.

It is now clear in DC and Frankfort

It is now clear that Bush lied us into this Iraqi war, He has lied us into the unnecessary deaths not only of thousands of our military but many thousands of civilians. If he pursues this war as he apparently intends, and if Congress accedes by funding his plan, then, in honor of all who have died in this unjust and unnecessary cause, both he and Congress should ALL be indicted as criminals. If we do not object we are complicit in criminal behavior, with terrible consequences for lives of many more.

It is now clear that Fletcher’s administration broke the law protecting merit employees after the candidate Fletcher promised to clean up the mess. Stumbo was required to do what he did. He was doing his job. It is absurd that an ethics committee says if he runs for election now there exists an appearance of impropriety. Let Stumbo run if he chooses, and let the people decide.
