On the Indictment of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby

The World Can’t Wait Organizers Say: Indictments Fuel November 2nd
Demonstrations to Drive Out the Bush Regime

The indictment of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Jr. for perjury,
obstruction
of justice and making false statements to the federal grand jury that
is
investigating the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame’s identity is just
the
tip of the iceberg of lies, fraud and intimidation knowingly used by
this
administration to go to war. The people behind all of this ( including
Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rove and Rumsfeld ( remain in power and are still
pursuing
an illegal, immoral and unjust war. This highlights the urgency of the
November 2nd demonstrations to drive out the Bush regime called by
World Can’t Wait(Drive Out the Bush Regime in over 70 cities and 40
campuses nationwide.

Libby and others in the administration were attempting to punish someone
for daring to expose one of their knowing lies, lies that have led to the
deaths at this point of over 100,000 people. Even the very small charges
that Libby faces for what in fact are war crimes drives home the utterly
illegitimate, illegal and immoral character of the war against Iraq, and
of the regime that cooked this up and is now prosecuting it.

Debra Sweet, WCW National Coordinator, on the indictments:
“This
indictment constitutes reason enough to drive Bush out of office, and
shows the urgency for people to turn out on November 2, demanding that
this regime be driven out.

“The indictment does not mean that the threat posed by the Bush
Regime has passed; on the contrary, people like Bush are more dangerous
when they are cornered. Progressive change only happens when people in
their millions struggle for it.

“But it does mean that Bush is scrambling and that many millions of people
are more open to hearing the truth and acting on it. Now is the time for
people who really do want to see change to come into the streets on
November 2 and take mass, independent political action to drive out the
Bush regime.”
