Former White House Officials Accused of Committing Crimes

In the video below you will see an interview with reporter and author Greg Palast by Amy Goodman of the Democracy Now program. The subject is participation in a program of illegal voter suppression by two members of the White House staff, Tim Griffin and Karl Rove.

I was one of the first people in America to raise the alarm about the 2004 election hijinks of Republican operatives. Through e-mails and phone calls I tried to spread the word that all was not as it seemed. My concern was based on my own research amounting to about forty-five hours. Similar concerns prompted a rare contest of the election in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The major media of the U.S., of course, have mostly ignored this issue. What does this say about their respect or lack of for the average voter?

It should be obvious that major reform is needed. We need free air time for qualified candidates for office. We need to return the airwaves to the people. And we must bring all the miscreants of this errant administration to the bar of justice to answer their accusers.
