Ford will be the first political prisoner of the Bush regime jailed for purely retaliatory reasons over the phony reasons for the Iraq war..
***Wayne Masden Report***
April 23, 2006 -- Former National Security Agency (NSA) signals intelligence analyst Kenneth Ford Jr., whose May 2003 analysis of Iraqi communications concluded that the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was not proven and was subsequently set up by the NSA, the FBI, and Justice Department in a crafty operation that saw a classified document placed within his home by an FBI contractor, has been ordered to report to the high security Federal Prison in Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary in Pennsylvania on May 15. Ford was convicted by a tainted jury, acting under the influence of a judge who was "shopped for" by a Federal prosecutor who was carrying out a political vendetta against a member of the intelligence community who challenged the Bush White House line on Iraq. Similarly, the CIA has fired its Inspector General official, Mary O. McCarthy, for leaking the information on CIA secret detention facilities to the media, including The Washington Post. McCarthy was said to have flunked a polygraph, which are being administered to CIA, NSA, and DIA personnel to discover various leakers. [Ed. note: Knowing the close relationship between the Washington Post (Bob Woodward, e.g.) and the New York Times (Judith Miller, e.g.), potential whistleblowers must realize that neither of these corporate-owned newspapers can be trusted to protect their sources, in other words, McCarthy may have been identified from someone within these media corporations who has close ties to the Bush White House and the Republican Party. WMR is a strict journalism venture and will not, under any circumstance, including a court subpoena, disclose the identity of any of our sources).
Ford's six year incarceration marks another Bush regime milestone. Ford will be the first political prisoner of the Bush regime jailed for purely retaliatory reasons over the phony reasons for the Iraq war. His jailing deserves more attention by the media than Martha Stewart received.

April 23, 2006 -- Forget impeachment, concentrate on the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the Constitution states, "Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President." The Amendment contains other more detailed procedural rules that must be followed.
It is clear that George W. Bush is not mentally capable of carrying out his presidential duties. It is also clear that the Congress and Vice President are unwilling to invoke the above constitutional requirements. In the case of a private citizen who is mentally disabled, first two next of kin can have the individual institutionalized. In the absence of family members, that responsibility would fall to someone with power of attorney. Lacking power of attorney, law enforcement or another government agency, acting with a judicial warrant, could have the person institutionalized.
25th Amendment provides the blueprint for quick presidential (and vice presidential) succession
In the case of Mr. Bush, his family, Vice President, Cabinet, and Congress are unwilling to act to remove a clearly mentally incapacitated individual from office. The U.S. Joint Chiefs, who also took an oath to uphold the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, could seek out a Federal judge to authorize the removal of Bush from office. The argument could be based on an in extremis situation in which a mentally ill president is endangering the public safety and national security and those empowered by the 25th Amendment to initiate removal procedures are unwilling to carry out their constitutional obligations. U.S. jurisprudence is based on case law. In this case, in the absence of case law, those in authority must think originally and let the courts sort out the matter after the fact. However, having a nuclear arsenal in the hands of a madman intent on using it (the "ticking bomb scenario mentioned in reference to terrorism), leaves no time for wrangling over legal minutia. The Armed Forces clearly have the Constitution on their side in checking the "The Decider."
