Cheney, Gonzales indicted (sort of)

[george]

nothing will come of it.

i heard on the news the other day that Bush is going to do a blanket pardon for his whole cabinet for any crimes committed during his administration, pretty cute trick, that even if it is not legal and such should make any attempt at prosecution horrifyingly difficult.

what want to see is a war crime tribunal, then we'll get some satisfaction.

hat is if you are angry about what is possibly the most corrupt government the US has ever had.

Hmm, Watergate scandal anyone?

It's disgusting how politicians get away with so much. Hopefully Bush'll be booted from office before he can get it.

Interesting point brought up in there - Washington just kept going "la la la, none of this is illegal!" and now they're all going to be pardoned (which kind of implies that something illegal did go on). So they're not really helping themselves much.
