It is mindboggling that the people in this country don't call these guys out and get to the bottom of what really went on and make them accountable. So much for the new Democratic Senate.

And it's been going on forever now. It just drives me nuts that this isn't resolved, that these bureaucrat fucks haven't completed this investigation (well, with the repubes stalling and trying to brush it away it makes a little more sense.) Clearly one would think the answer would be for an independent commission to take over, but that is fraught with it's own expense and bias issues (remember Kenneth Starr). Already it has been ruled that the Iraq-Al qaeda crap was pushed when the intelligence didn't support it. That in itself means that quite a few Bush administration peeps should be behind bars, including Bush and Cheney. It is complicated. And it’s been going on forever now.

It goes like this (simplified): I tell you I can fly, you blog 'Chilly can fly', then I go on a quasi-political talk show using you and everyone else I got to print my bullshit as sources saying "See, even these bloggers suspect my avain ability". It helps when everyone is frightened and licking their wounds. Viva Chicken Little- This is only one element of the scope of the program. The outing of the journalist dude's CIA wife as punishment for his doubt is another, the investigation that followed that outing, Supreme Court interpretation of 'free press', the changed nature of a confidencial wistleblower since the Nixon era of 'Deep Throat' etc. Complicated but interesting stuff.
