    Daniel Bogden, U.S. attorney for Nevada, has been forced into resigning by the Bush administration. This is the second prosecutor forced out in the past week. As noted by the folks at TPMmuckraker

Nevada's GOP senator, John Ensign, had recommended Bodgen for the post, and spoke to the paper for the record. "His priorities, to prevent terrorism and prosecute violent and drug crimes, have made our communities and families safer," he said.

The paper did not include a quote on the topic from Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who also represents Nevada. However, it noted that a spokesperson for Reid said the lawmaker was in favor of legislation to prevent U.S. attorneys from being replaced without Senate approval.           Entire Article

   I guess that the Bush Crime Family intends to replace these prosecutors with others who may be more inclined to not pursue any charges against them when the charges do come up.

Two Saddam Aides Executed On Monday

   Saddam's two aides were executed at 3 a.m. wearing red-orange jumpsuit's.

    There was just one slight problem with one of the hangings. When     Barzan Ibrahim's body went through the trap door the poor guy lost his head, literally! His head was snapped off by the jerking of the rope which of course has angered many Sunnis.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's attempt to close a chapter in Saddam Hussein's repressive quarter-century in power, by hanging two of his henchmen Monday, further enraged Sunnis when the former leader's half brother was decapitated on the gallows.

A government video of the execution screened for reporters showed Ibrahim's body passing the camera in a blur, after the decapitation. His body came to rest on its chest, with the head a few meters (yards) away, still covered in the black hood that was put there by one of his five masked executioners only moments before.       Entire Article

   I'm betting that the rope that was used was probably supplied by Halliburton. Is this another Bush 'surge' downward this time?

   I shouldn't be kidding about this but this story is just to damned funny! I'm wondering when the video will appear on the Internet?
