White House Wants More Time on Subpoenas -- MORE TIME? UNTIL WHEN, when they make their escape to some non-extraditable country?

By DEB RIECHMANN Associated Press Writer

August 17,2007 | CRAWFORD, Texas -- The White House on Friday asked a Senate panel for more time to produce subpoenaed information about the legal justification for President Bush's secretive eavesdropping program.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy had set Monday as the deadline for administration officials already subpoenaed to provide documents and testimony about the National Security Agency's eavesdropping program.

In a letter to Leahy, White House counsel Fred Fielding * argued that the subpoenas called for the production of "extraordinarily sensitive national security information," and he said much of the information -- if not all -- could be subject to a claim of executive privilege.

Fielding asked Leahy to suspend the deadline until after Labor Day...

William Burroughs, the 20th Century's MOST brilliantly prophetic and insightful writer on matters of power, dirty dealing, fear-mongering, addiction, and business including those who ARE addicted to power, business, fear-mongering, etc, had this to say about this band of corrupt vicious non-human assholes. And he said it in a book (Nova Express) published 43 years ago, in 1964.

"Listen: I call you all. Show your cards all players. Pay it all pay it all pay it all back. Play it all pay it all play it all back. For all to see. InTimes Square. On Picadilly.

"Premature. Premature. Give us a little more time."

Time for what? more lies? Premature? Premature for who? I say to all these words aree not premature. These words may be too late. Minutes to go...

"Top Secret -- Classified -- For the Board -- the Elite -- The Initiates --"

Are these the words of the all-powerful boards and syndicates of the earth? These are the words of liars cowards collaborators traitors. Liars who want time for more lies. Cowards who cannot face your "dogs" you "gooks" your "errand boys" your "human animals" with the truth. Collaborators with Insect People with Vegetable People. With any people who offer you a body forever. To shit forever. For this you have sold out your sons. Sold the ground from unborn feet forever. Traitors to all souls everywhere...

Ain't it cute how they behave as if the Late Mr Burroughs actually scripted this administration?

I truly admire Noam Chomsky's insights about the American government's covert (and overt) power games, but compared to William Burroughs, many years earlier, he's sort of like Bob Newhart compared to the late Lenny Bruce. On the right track, but a bit more gentle and forgiving than might be needed.
