some things never change . . .http://www.crisispapers.org/Editorials/missing-in-action.htmNever in the history of American politics has so little been done with so much.
The Democratic party has at its disposal a devastating array of issues, foreign and domestic, moral and economic, and yet there it sits, at best dumb-frozen and impotent, and at worst complicit in the crimes and outrages of the Bush Administration.

The degree of corruption of this government is breathtaking. Personal friends and supporters of the Administration who have robbed their employees and stockholders of billions of dollars of life-savings and retirement income, have escaped prosecution. Nor have any meaningful legal reforms resulted from this corporate crime wave. The public at large is told to “get over it.” And friends and family of the President and his chief aids are positioned to receive enormous financial advantages from uncompetitive government contracts.
The Constitution is being shredded by the cynically-named USA PATRIOT Act, with the still worse abuses in “Patriot II” waiting in the wings. The courts, packed with so-called “conservative” judges will no longer protect us from these abuses, as American citizens are held indefinitely without charge, trial, or access to legal counsel – in direct violation of several articles of the Bill of Rights.
