The VA and Soda on a Counter.....Prosecution!!

{did some editing since first posting with a few changes and some contact information to take action!}

I paided a visit over to Harpers magazine site last night, and this is what I first saw:

Unexpected Consequences from a Mug of Soda

Thought maybe it was some sort of satire but quickly found out it wasn't as I read further and followed the links.

It is written by one Scott Horton

The Bush Justice Department continuously tells us it is beleaguered, under-resourced, and having a hard time battling crime.


Scott is referring to this article in the Idaho Statesman about a woman who drives her father, a brother Vietnam Veteran, to their VA Hospital for treatments and while there usually gets a re-fill of soda in their cafeteria.

Scott lets us in on abit of the story line and adds some thoughts of his own, like this:

The VA turned the matter over to Idaho U.S. attorney, Thomas E. Moss, who prides himself on having been picked as an adviser to Alberto Gonzales. Moss literally decided to make a federal case of it by bringing a prosecution. Remember, this is the same Bush Justice Department which has advised Congress that it “lacks the resources” to investigate or prosecute more than 30 rape cases involving contractors in Iraq, and which recently decided that senior Republican appointees caught in a massive corruption, cocaine and illicit sex scandal at the Interior Department weren’t worth going after.


On December 16, 2005, U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, appointed Mr. Moss to a three-year term on the Attorney General's Advisory Committee (AGAC), a group which makes recommendations to the Attorney General on national policies, procedures and substantive issues. Tom also continues to serve on the Attorney General's Executive Working Group, and on the AGAC's subcommittees dealing with Native American Issues, and Borders and Immigration.

“My father is a veteran. It is a federal facility for veterans. This should have been handled differently,” she said. “This is extreme. This is totally extreme. Well, if they have that much time on their hands ... go for it.


Interesting, and once again enraging, story and seems to be leading a caring daughter in danger of prosecution and jail time by the incompetent Justice Department of the United States under the guidance of the Incompetent and Corrupt administration!

The Incompetence and Corrupt Fools beat goes on, remnants of cheney/bush and the consument yes character alberto Destroying American Justice!!
