...one nation, under God, indivisible....with freedom and justice for everyone except....those who Karl Rove decides....are "gone".
No wonder "they hate us for our freedom"!
The thugs made a mistake...allowing li'l Mclatchy News to buy Knight Ridder, last year. If Ruppert or somebody from CNP (Salem) had bought it, a lot of these embarassing "scoops" wouldn't get publicized:

WASHINGTON - Presidential advisor Karl Rove and at least one other member of the White House political team were urged by the New Mexico Republican party chairman to fire the state's U.S. attorney because of dissatisfaction in part with his failure to indict Democrats in a voter fraud investigation in the battleground election state.
In an interview Saturday with McClatchy Newspapers, Allen Weh, the party chairman, said he complained in 2005 about then-U.S. Attorney David Iglesias to a White House liaison who worked for Rove and asked that he be removed. Weh said he followed up with Rove personally in late 2006 during a visit to the White House.
"Is anything ever going to happen to that guy?" Weh said he asked Rove at a White House holiday event that month.

"I probably said something close to 'Hallelujah,'" said Weh.
Weh's account calls into question the Justice Department's stance that the recent decision to fire Iglesias and seven U.S. attorneys in other states was a personnel matter - made without White House intervention. Justice Department officials have said the White House's involvement was limited to approving a list of the U.S. attorneys after the Justice Department made the decision to fire them.
Rove could not be reached Saturday, and the White House and the Justice Department had no immediate response.
"The facts speak for themselves," Iglesias said, when he was told of Weh's account of his conversation with Rove......
