Bush plumbers go after leakers
This is really unbelievable, Bush's jackboots at the Department of Justice are going after the sources who leaked his illegal phone taps to the NY Times instead of dealing with the obvious need to revise the policy that is allowing the invasion of privacy of American citizens! Talk about getting it wrong! These idiots don't see that the impeachable behavior of flat-out ignoring a clear congressional mandate is an activity that requires the principled federal employee to expose the illicit activity. The people who did this deserve the Freedom Medals that went to Tenet, and Bremmer. The Bush DoJ is too busy writing briefs that keep uncharged citizens in jails without benefit of counsel, or that support illegal torture to recognize that the real pursuit of justice would demand drawing up articles of impeachment. Back in the days of Watergate the DoJ was run by principled people like William Ruckelshaus and Elliot Richardson. These brave men refused to do the bidding of a crooked president and chose resignation over playing the lacky for Nixon! There is a day of reckoning coming, these pretenders cannot continue to fool the people forever. Write your congressman and demand accountability.
