Reply #28: Why do you assume we would behave like a GOP lynch mob?

I'm sure that if you said this to Palast, Parry, or Sy Hirsch, they
would do a better job than me; but these are the bullyboy tactics
of the GOP. You assume that ALL investigations are as phony
and partisan as Ken Starr and his law-breakers. Boy has your
mind been poisoned by GOP tactics.

Besides, who says we are going after *persons*? There is vast
"structural corruption" in this country. Revolving doors, secret
deals, crony capitalism.

In the current New Yorker, someone has leaked a top secret
document from Cheney's energy meeting showing that the
proposal, as early as Feb, 2001, was to link "oil capture" to
"rogue state policy". I.e., Iraq.

Cheney is guilty, but he is just the tip of the whole iceberg. If
all we got were Cheney, they'd just put another figurehead on
top and continue looting. Look at "W", the gold standard of
empty figureheads.
