Reuters: Iraq Rejects U.S. Talk of Adjusting Vote Result
This is in another thread but the title doesn't reveal its content, so I started this for those who missed it. It's too important to be overlooked -- settles the issue about whether or not the current administration WOULD undermine democracy.

We should be pounding this drum all week to news outlets and politicians, and sending to our friends -- especially skeptics.

Iraq Rejects U.S. Talk of Adjusting Vote Result
by Luke Baker, Reuters
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=360813

The original thread pointed to this:

News: Election 2004: Bush Administration Proposes Sweeping Plan to Amend Election Results in Favor of Losing Minority Party -- in Iraq
http://www.nashuaadvocate.blogspot.com/

Best line:
"Somewhere in a Blue State, a Kerry-Edwards supporter has just died of irony."

3. Good fucking grief...
This is fucking insane! It's like they're openly taunting their crimes here by trying to repeat them elsewhere...

12. I remember a post a month or so back...
... wherein the author told a story about an acquaintance he or she knew who would walk in to department stores with batteries, put them in display boomboxes, walk around the store looking at things and walk out. The theft worked because it wasn't hidden. It certainly seems similar to today's situation.

This is why the actions of Blackwell & Co. in Ohio are so important to our case. Violating the rules in 66 of 68 counties looks much more like the work of someone with something to hide.

4. "Who wins, wins". A concept that confounds the bushies.
I'm surprised the elections haven't been stopped and a permanant bushie puppet put in place.

5. That could...
... still happen.... *sigh* Easy to spin out a number of scenarios which could be manufactured to create a need to suspend elections. Violence on election day, for example.

6. I guess the Iraqis haven't seen what Bush was capable in Ohio and Florida

...once they do, they'll come around.
