Wow. When you think about it, hundreds of defendents can now credibly claim they've been unfairly "targeted" by the Bush DoJ. After destroying our military and our Constituion, Bush has destroyed our courts. Everything Bush has ever touched in his entire life has turned to shit.
But it's not just public officials who may have cause to wonder about the legitimacy of their targeting. Consider th{is} theory: ... The NSA at some point after 9/11 "requests" the cooperation of all major telecommunications carriers in "voluntarily" turning over access to all their call data but Qwest Communications -- at the direction of its CEO, Joseph Nacchio, and alone among major carriers -- refuses to comply.
Not long afterward, Qwest and Nacchio found themselves embroiled in... a federal investigation, of all things. The SEC hit Nacchio, Qwest, and several top officers of the company with allegations of insider trading and accounting fraud.
Gee whiz! Whaddya know?
