CONGRESS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#congress

· Another Valerie-Plame-like scandal! - At question here, much like the Valerie Plame case, is the issue of high treason. We have an Administration in the White House that is willing to compromise national security, to frustrate the assistance provided by our allies, and to endanger the lives of United States citizens for the sake of personal revenge or to distract public attention from an opposing candidate in order to shave off a few votes.

· Democrats' letter: Rove must explain role in CIA outing or resign - Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, calls on Bush adviser Karl Rove to explain his role in the outing of a CIA agent or resign his office.

ENVIRONMENT : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#environment

· Mom, Who Lost Son In Iraq, Talks About 'Disgusting' White House Private Meeting With Bus - But what she encountered was an arrogant man with eyes lacking the slightest bit of compassion, a President totally "detached from humanity" and a man who didn’t even bother to remember her son’s name when they were first introduced. - Instead of a kind gesture or a warm handshake, Sheehan said she immediately got a taste of Bush arrogance when he entered the room and "in a condescending tone and with a disgusting loud Texas accent," said: "Who we’all honorin’ here today?"

EDITORIAL : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news/#editorial

· The U.S. Government Should Stop Meddling in the Oil Market - The U.S. national security bureaucracies, dependent on public fears of oil shortages or high prices to maintain the flow of tens of billions of dollars into their agency coffers, have long had a vested interest in ignoring the fact that the worldwide oil market would function well without their meddling.

· July 4th and the end of America, land of the free - On this, the 229th birthday of our nation, we find the very foundation of our nation in grave danger as our (elected?) leaders continue to destroy many of the rights and freedoms our forefathers worked so hard to put in place. It is no coincidence that, this very week, our President has created a domestic spy service called the National Security Service. That's the NSS, not to be confused with the SS of Nazi Germany, which had much the same function in pre-war Germany.

· Please Promise Me, Mr. President... - Please, promise me that no matter how hot things get, you won't resign. Please, keep going about making the same old speeches on television from those military bases where you think they just love you so fucking much, keep touring the nation and mentioning 9-11 in the same breath as Iraq, and please, just ignore all of us bloggers--after all, what the hell do we know? We only live and work in this once-great nation that you've managed to choke the life out of.

· Save the First Amendment--from Karl Rove - A man who taught with Karl Rove, and considers him a friend, writes that in the Valerie Plame case, Rove is using journalists, and the First Amendment, "to operate without constraint, or to camouflage breaking the law." That's why neither reporters Cooper and Miller, nor their publications, should protect the behavior of Rove (or anyone else) "through an undiscerning, blanket use of the First Amendment that weakens its protections by its gross misuse."

· Prosecutor Demands Time Reporter Testimony - A federal prosecutor on Tuesday demanded the grand jury testimony of Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper, even though Time Inc. has surrendered e-mails and other documents to the investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity.
