There's no way Rove is over there because he fears arrest over here. He knows damned well he'll be pardoned in the HIGHLY unlikely event the worst happens and the Democrats actually DO something about him.

I've long ago stopped hoping for his arrest.

I WANT his arrest. I WANT every one of these fucking criminals in jail for life. But I am almost totally without hope it will happen. And the very reason I feel hopeless is why Rove has no reason to be over there apart from simply wanting to be there. He will live his life with impunity.

3. Because the circle of wealth and political ties is much larger and tighter than anyone will admit.

Rove is visiting Sweden and apparently acting in an advisory capacity to Prime Minister Reinfeldt and his party.
In reading about him it occurs to me that Reinfeldt may have a great deal in common with Obama (even including their Aug. 4 birthdays). And according to this Wikipedia piece at least, he is a fan of Bushco AND Obama.


About Prime Minister Reinfeldt:


As one of Europe's new conservative leaders, Reinfeldt is seen as an important ally of the United States. His party is a member of the conservative International Democrat Union, together with the Republican Party in the United States and the British Conservative Party, even though being more liberal than these. During the 2000 U.S. presidential election, Reinfeldt visited the United States to support the campaign of George W. Bush.<26> Prior to the 2004 US presidential election, Reinfeldt again expressed his support for Bush. In an interview with the newspaper Stockholm City on March 8, 2004, Reinfeldt said that he preferred Bush over the Democratic Party contender John Kerry, and in a poll conducted by the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in April 2004, Reinfeldt like a large majority of his party favoured Bush over Kerry.<27> Despite this, he has compared his government's actions and policies to that of Bill Clinton's administration, and supports Barack Obama in the 2008 United States presidential election.<28>

The Moderate Party has a strong pro-European Union policy stance, and also supports Sweden joining NATO. Reinfeldt has also opposed a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, saying that the democratically elected Iraqi government should have the last say on the issue.

Reinfeldt visited Washington, D.C. on May 15, 2007, meeting with President Bush. His trip also included meetings with others, including United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.<29><30> This is his first visit to the United States since becoming prime minister in 2006.<31> Bush and Reinfeldt mostly discussed climate change and free trade, focusing on the Doha Round.<32><33><34> Young Americans for Freedom, an influential conservative organization, issued a press release ahead of Reinfeldt's visit, saying he has "done a tremendous job at modernizing his party’s message and finding electoral success in what most American conservatives would perceive as a staunch left-wing country."

4. I wonder ... if you're impeached and not convicted ...
what legal safeties do you have to prevent you from being extradited to face trial for crimes against humanity?

5. simply issuing a warrant for his arrest would make worldwide news.
but congress is too afraid to do anything like that.

therefore, i am afraid to vote for my congressman -- or any incumbent -- again.
