This looks like a BS story

Crazy allegations, and I'll bet none of them are substantiated. Dont get me wrong, it would be nice, but I seriously doubt the investigation is near this stage yet:
http://www.arcticbeacon.citymaker.com/a ... /30722.htm
Sources close to the Chicago federal grand jury probe into perjury and obstruction charges against President Bush and others said indictments were handed down this week, but a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois refused to comment.


*SNIP*

Although the U.S. Attorney’s office in Chicago is staying silent, it is well known that Fitzgerald is digging deep into an assortment of serious improprieties among many Bush administration figures based, in part, on subpoenaed testimony provided by former Secretary of State Colin Powell.



According to federal whistleblower Tom Heneghen, who recently reported on http://www.truthradio.com, Powell testified before the citizen grand jury that President Bush had taken the U.S. to war illegally based on lies, which is a capital crime involving treason under the U.S. Code.



“Regarding the Powell testimony, there is no comment,” said Sanborn.



However, sources close to the federal grade jury probe also allegedly told Heneghen a host of administration figures besides Bush were also indicted, including Vice-President Richard Cheney, Chief of Staff Andrew Card, Cheney Chief of Staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, former Attorney General John Ashcroft, imprisoned New York Times reporter Judith Miller and former Senior Cheney advisor Mary Matalin.



Heneghen, unavailable for comment and first reported by internet reporter Tom Flocco, allegedly also told sources White House Advisor Karl Rove was indicted for perjury in a major document shredding operation cover-up
Of course the prosecutor isn't commenting on any of this.

I just think it's really strange for a story like this to come out, right now during the investigation. Of course, it was also just revealed that charges have been called against 2 officials for the AIPAC spying investigation, so people need to be distracted, but I still don't understand how this kind of story could benefit anyone.

...Prime Minister Tony Blair was also indicted for obstruction of justice charges.

Heneghen also claimed that Blair failed to honor a subpoena issued by Fitzpatrick and is now consulting with British legal counsel on how to avoid appearing in Chicago.
lol, i'll bet he is. i'm not sure how his case falls within the jurisdiction of any US court, though, particularly when the US isn't signed up to the ICC

You're a fucking idiot. You don't know what the war on terror is about?

Well there are a couple other stories out on it too now, but nothing's been confirmed.

There's one story at tomflocco, but either his site is being completely hammered, or it has been taken down, because I'm getting a 'host not found' error:

And there's another article on rumormillnews about it:

Apparently Sherman Skolnick has confirmed the story, but the problem is.... Who the hell is Sherman Skolnick supposed to be? :icon27:

At any rate, I still think it's probably a bunch of BS, but it's still very interesting, even for a rumor.
