Group claims 100,000 signatures in 'Send Rove to Jail' campaign
Source: Raw Story - John Byrne

That's the name of the website now claiming to have over 101,000 signatures in their campaign to urge the House Judiciary Committee to cite former White House Deputy Chief Karl Rove for contempt.

Rove failed to testify after being subpoenaed by the Judiciary Committee to provide information regarding the selective prosecution of former Alabama Democratic Governor Don Siegelman. RAW STORY's reporting on Siegelman's case, along with that of CBS, sparked a national outcry that resulted in Siegelman being let out of jail pending appeal.

"We call on the the House Judiciary Committee to cite Rove with contempt for failing to comply with a Congressional subpoena," the petition at the website reads. "Since Rove regards the law with such contempt, it's high time the law and Congress hold him in contempt as well. We demand the let Rove know he can't decide which subpoenas he obeys and which he ignores."

4. You know, we really have to waterboard him first, get a confession ...
Let him sit in Gitmo for five years, then give him a military tribunal.

And we really ought not overlook restitution, seeing what he has that could be of use to his victims.

5. Heck, it probably wouldn't even be necessary to actually waterboard him.
He strikes me as the kind that would start squealing as soon as he saw a room that was set up for waterboarding.
