Gates and Chavez

As we know Robert Gates will replace Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense.

A friend has pointed out a few noteworthy things about Gates



First this article from Black Box Voting (Black Box Voting is involved with protecting our elections.)

Gates was involved with the voting machine industry.

Turns out Gates was once on the board of directors of VoteHere

This quote is directly from the VoteHere website: "Independent audit solutions for validation and verification of election results You know you run good elections, and now you can prove it!"

Verification of Diebold voting machines, oh dear.

Also Gates was involved with Iran/Contra back in the days of Reagan. We find that President Bush seems to enjoy bringing out the old Reagan crew time after time. Just when we thought the death knell was clearly sounded on Reagan conservatism on Tuesday, it reappears.

There are a number of articles on Gates' Iran/Contra involvement. Pick one

What kind of payback or privilege has Gates earned with the Bush family?

Finally a very curious article on Bush through the eyes of Hugo Chavez

Hugo Chavez....said it is U.S. President George W. Bush who should be sentenced to death.

Personally I would settle for a war crimes trial. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and all neocons sitting in the defendants box, its a glorious image.
