A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

It hasn’t taken much courage to go out on a limb, as we did in our BuzzFlash editorial yesterday, to claim that the Bush Administration is almost certainly amassing its illegal and legal domestic spying powers for primarily partisan purposes.

No, it’s not courage. It’s just common sense.

We recently laid out the Bush Administration/Rovian three-pronged game book for firmly controlling election outcomes and unilaterally determining the law in the United States -- and don’t think Rove’s long-term strategy for one-party rule is going away, even if he has officially resigned from the White House (remember that this is the crew that openly and brazenly stole the 2000 election, and Rove hasn’t resigned from being a strategist for the Republican Party.)

The reason that the Bush/Cheney administration is so fiercely fighting the surrender of information about their illegal spying on American citizens is because what they have done is far, far worse than Watergate. They have violated the most basic of Constitutional guarantees to achieve political advantage.

Anyone who can’t see that this is what they are doing in their multiple front effort to expand domestic surveillance powers is either naïve or politically compromised.
