Default Re: Tide Turns - Prosecuting Bush?

Hi no caste,

I don't know if it's futile, but I do know it's politics.

Brazil thrives on politics. It seems that the worse off the country gets, the more political games are played, many very obvious.

There was a Senator called Antonio Carlos Magalhães, a very successful politician who made a career out of what he did.

His trick was to keep mum with all the illegal goings on in the Brazilian government. Everybody knew that he knew and he became almost untouchable because he could have put a lot of people in very hot water.

Before he died, he was eventually accused of rigging a votation board in the Senate, so he started to leak information which began to compromise different people. As the compromised started to fight amongst themselves, trying to defend themselves and rebatting accusations, they left Magalhães alone for a time.

However later on he did have to resign to protect his political rights.

But the point is, if you're worried about being attacked, throw something out there to take the focus away from yourself. It may not save your butt, however it could give you enough time to finalize what you are wanting to do.

Best regards,

Steve
