I'm taking my cues from the way the Righties have operated.
All of you guys trying to play the role of the "noble peacemaker calling for restraint" are forgetting the way that the Clinton administration, and ANYBODY who isn't "with" the Dubya administration, has been treated: they have always been vilified and persecuted in any way possible.

You want me to give the Corporations a break because Sarbanes-Oxley, et al, will eventually get 'im? Okay, then how about when we do actually "get" some of these guys, and they go to prison, let's put 'em in with the general population so they have the opportunity see what prison life is all about. And let's make sure we find ALL of their ill-gotten gains so they have to wear Goodwill clothes rather than still being able to somehow afford tailored suits when they get out.

The only reason that Dubya okayed those wiretaps was to find his POLITICAL enemies, foreign AND domestic. He wasn't interested in protecting America or Americans or he wouldn't be defending that illegal activity NOW. YOU "think about it": With the green light he had from Congress (essentially an okay to go to war), under the conditions of the FISA Act he could implement those wiretaps and he had FIFTEEN DAYS to request a warrant. If he was denied the warrant, the only consequence was he couldn't surveil that particular phone and/or person anymore. He never even bothered, how come? Because he KNEW they were wrong.

Let's quit whining about NOT getting Clinton or Carter and start concentrating on the guys, in the here and now, that we CAN get. I love it how all of you Dubyapologists try to justify ignoring today's opportunities for justice by moaning about the missed opportunities of the past. Using that logic, you might as well instruct the FBI to quit searching for serial killers because they haven't gotten every one of them in the past.

Oh, and I shouldn't "blindly take what" I "hear from the media as truth?" Tell me, then, where AM I supposed to get my information? The Secret Society at The Big White House certainly tell me anything, they just institute secret wiretaps.
