OK, so perhaps the headline was overly snarky, but I mean, why is this even a story anymore? They lied, they cheated and they continue to steal. I am sorry, but there is no other way of looking at the Bush Administration that is sincere at all.

A few months ago, I tried my best to walk through a logical examination of the evidence at hand, trying to eschew such pronouncements as I’ve made above, even though I believed them as much as I do now. My point then, which still stands, is that even if you believe that Bush was swayed by flawed intelligence, the CIA is a part of his Administration and therefore his responsiblity either way. Also, the major thrust of this article was to argue against the Patriot Act by arguing that the last thing we need is more intelligence gathering capabilities, but that point got kinda lost.
But all of this seems meaningless in a nation where niether the media nor Congress seems willing to do anything right by the American People. I hate to harp on the media, if only because I spent so many years deriding the whining Right for thier complaints against the supposed “liberal media,” but I really do think that history will show this as the single most irresponsible era in American media.

John Conyers is, as always, willing to at least write a letter seeking the release of the Hadley Memo. And really, what else can he do? But of course that won’t happen without some sort of pressure from elsewhere, and there’s none to be found right now.

Guess we’ll have to wait until the Mid-Terms. . .
