Wiretap/War Crime Nation

This is what we know so far, based on stories over the last two days:

• The Bush Administration was wiretapping every American's communications.
  
• They got very little in the way of useful information by doing so.
• The rationale for the wiretapping came from the same Bush Administration officials who were justifying the use of torture.
  
• They were only able to keep the program going by deliberately lying about its effectiveness.
• Dick Cheney was running the program and directed that the CIA both lie about the program and not tell Congress about it.
• Thousands of prisoners were slaughtered by the order of an Afghan warlord who was being paid by the CIA, they were buried and re-buried in mass graves, and the Bush Administration actively worked to cover up those murders.

So it becomes clear, now. A Republican president commits all manner of war crimes and violations of the Constitution and the Democrats are complicit, now, in covering it all up. A Democratic president gets a blowjob from a female intern, lies about it, and the Republicans try to drive him out of office.

Republicans have a thirst for power that is so strong that they will stop at nothing, nothing, in order to slake it.

Attorney General Eric Holder is making rumblings that he may appoint a prosecutor to investigate the use of torture by the Bush Administration.

I will believe it when I see it. Democrats are scared of their own shadows.
