Abraham Lincoln said it best in today’s podcast when he said:
Bush: “I did such a great job at G8 this year I thought I deserved a treat - so I made myself emperor of the world.”

What are they hiding? It’s not hard for any nerd to figure out what NSA is doing.

Brian makes a good point. Personally, I beleive the fact that there won’t even be a blip on American public’s radar is much worse than the fact that the president is actually doing these things.
A nation’s leader is just as good, as ethical, and as just, as its citizen demands him to be. Isn’t that what we’ve learned from the history of modern civilization?
Thoughtful, vigilent, and just citizens make a nation a great nation. Citizens who guard their own ideals, identity and liberties just as strongly and proudly from over-zealous and secretive leaders, as they guard their borders and other national assets from terrorist.

This administration has lowered the bar so much on ethical conduct that this won’t even make a blip on the American public’s radar. After getting away with breaking international arms treaties, manipulating intelligence, exposing a CIA operative for political revenge, starting a pre-emptive war, conducting extraordinary renditions, torturing prisoners, illegally spying on its own citizens and ignoring the Geneva Conventions, do you really think anyone will care about this?

Wow....the most amazing thing about this article is that not only did Alberto ‘torture memo’ Gonzalez crawl out of his hole, but he actually SAID something for the first time......that his boss is shiftless and untrustworthy!
