Agitprop Predicts

Predicting the News Since About Six Weeks Ago ...
So You Don't Have to Pay Attention

Read now ye, these weekly three!

1) This is the week when Parliament will launch its investigation into Tony Blair's handling of pre-war intelligence.

2) Someone will leak one or both of the Bush/Blair "Let's Bomb al-Jazeera" memos.

3) After a hue and cry from the media (which will not be as big as it should be), the Justice Department will allow re-examination of the most recent Scalito documents - "[o]nly reporters were granted 180 minutes to peruse 470 pages of information ... it would take about 39 seconds to quickly read each page and figure out if the information was newsworthy or worth pursuing further."

Hm, tough week... I assume these are good until Sunday?

1) Details linking Rove to being the first White House source to leak the name of Plame to a reporter will be revealed.

2) The Jets will lose yet again (Carl's Lock of the Week)

3) Speaking of jets, a plane crash in Asia (probably China) will raise the spectre of terrorism once again, until it is determined it was mechanical failure.

Its nice to know that atleast Great Britain is interested in finding out whether their government lied to them about starting an illegal war.

I certainly hope you are right about leaking the blair memo about bombing aljazeera- that really needs to be verified so it doesnt disappear from the news and so the bush administration doesnt continue to simply say "thats outrageous" when we all know that yes, it is outrageous, which makes it all the more likely to be true. I am amazed at how the mainstream media have let this sort of drop. They suck. Period.

As for the justice dept and Alito- I think you give them WAAAAAY to much credit.

"Its nice to know that atleast Great Britain is interested in finding out whether their government lied to them about starting an illegal war."

The problem is, Great Britain really isn't interested in learning about why their govt started the war.

They're much more interested in hearing about George Best and his final, final moments. At least if you believe the news has its pulse on the throbbing interests of the British public.
