Bring on investigation of White House conspiracy

David Frenkel, Winchester Star

July 29, 2005

Just as the Watergate burglary turned out to be the tip of a large iceberg, namely a vast criminal array of behavior that pervaded the Nixon White House, Karl Rove's outing of Valery Plame has all the earmarks of a crime committed to cover up a much larger crime, a conspiracy to commit a war of aggression.

The United States is a signatory to the UN charter and is committed thereby to uphold this charter. The charter is quite clear in forbidding a war of aggression. That is, a war where there is no valid casus belli (justifiable reason under law), a threat to our national security and a legitimate effort to negotiate to remove that threat. If one goes to war without this valid reason, and for that matter without the approval of the UN Security Council, one is in breach of the very legal framework of the United Nations, to which we are legally committed.

Such a breach would be a violation of U.S. federal law and thus a possible legal theory which the zealous prosecutor pursuing Rove, Patrick Fitzgerald, might pursue. This could be a firestorm that consumes the Bush administration, eventually bringing it down. Impeachment and convictions for those who participated in it, are a possibility, just as there were eventually with Watergate.

It would now appear the administration went out of its way to fabricate reasons to go to war with Iraq. They used bogus stories such as the alleged Niger uranium yellow cake attempted buy documents, and the captured aluminum tubes alleged to be parts for a nuclear-oriented centrifuge, both of which have been well and truly debunked. The Niger yellow cake story led to Karl Rove retaliating against Ambassador Wilson by outing his wife Valerie Plame, who was a covert CIA operative. So far, the news media have covered this story as if it were the primary crime. Unpatriotic and vengeful as it was, it is much more likely this was merely a parry of the real accusation that Ambassador Wilson was making.

The Bush team were lying in order to fabricate their casus belli, so they could go to war in Iraq, a decision we now know from many sources they took long before Sept. 11, 2001 - even before January 2000.

There is much evidence now emerging that indicates the Bush inner team of Cheney, Rove and Rumsfeld were in awe of the UK's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's ability to win re-election based on poll numbers greatly improved by a nice neat war in the Falklands. This revelation comes from no less than a Bush family biographer, Herskowitz. This writer ascribed a quote to Vice President Dick Cheney, when he was chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee, "Start a small war. Pick a country where there is justification you can jump on, go ahead and invade."

"One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief," said George W Bush in 1999.

Other documents to come from the Blair organization suggest that the timing of the mid-term elections was a serious consideration in the urgency with which Bush pushed for the Iraq invasion. One can only assume that this was being driven by Rove's calculation this would drive the sagging economy off the front page and place Bush in the commander-in-chief role that brought loyalty, improved poll numbers and a remarkable seat gain in the mid-term elections.

All legitimate political warfare in Rove's and Cheney's world, but beyond the sophomoric tricks normally attributed to Rove. This is where they crossed the red-line into a dark and criminal world.

The Bush team systematically smeared people like Ambassador Wilson and head of counter terrorism Richard Clarke, who both sought patriotically, and at great peril to their own careers, to inform the public that the reasons given to go to war were not true.

The added crime that Fitzgerald might consider as evidence of a conspiracy to commit a war of aggression, is the now-published fact President Bush ordered thousands of bombing sorties over Iraq to destroy targets unrelated to the no-fly zone, and clearly intended them as the first step towards an invasion.

These actions seem to breach the constitutional powers solely given to Congress to authorize war. Could Fitzgerald net Mr. Rove and his cronies into a charge of criminal conspiracy to fraudulently misrepresent the facts to provide cover for a war they knew was illegal unless they had a casus belli? The British memos say as much.

It says they knew they needed a legal excuse, and so they set about to make one up. That makes them knowingly guilty of actively fabricating evidence (with Blair's advisors offering assistance) to commit a crime that is vast in scope. I always wondered what their real motive was but it staggers me that it could be as simple as winning elections with tactics they are on record as admiring for just that reason.

To Mr. Fitzgerald all I can say is, "bring it on."
