  • Bush & Cheney-Poster boys for corruption

    I have been writing my senators and representatives repeatedly asking for an investigation of the corruption of the last administration. Their abuses of power, lying and corruption are unrivalled in modern politics. Now they are both sitting in Texas collecting their ''ProQuo'' for the billions they sent to Halliburton and other large Oil ...

  • investigate Bush?

    The Obama administration has more pressing issues than to spend time investigating clear abuses of the Bush administration.

  • Re: tough argument to make -How About now?

    WASHINGTON – The Pentagon said Monday it no longer includes a Bible quote on the cover page of daily intelligence briefings it sends to the White House as was practice during the Bush administration. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said he did not know how long the Worldwide Intelligence Update cover sheets quoted from the Bible. Air Force ...

  • tough argument to make

    One that can only be made in the negative as in not sorry instead of glad George W. Bush served two terms. Further, it seems to me the notion that the other guys might have made things worse in reaction to the events of 9/11 as supportive of the reactions of the Bush administration assumes the events would have unfolded in the same way. I ...

  • Obama/press/Bush

    Obama has earned the respect of the press. Bush - their scorn.

  • At the "heart" of the debate

    Lithwick says: The fight playing out between the left and the right now isn't ''Did we water-board?'' We already knew we did. It is barely even ''Was it legal?'' Virtually nobody seriously argues that it was. The fight we are having in America now is ''Did it work?'' She's right. Case in point: see the lead photograph and caption in a recent ...

  • Re: Future ramifications

    Your arguments on ''tit-for-tat'' unfortunately and in all probability are true. But the reverse could also be true: Facing the possibility of future prosecution, the Obama and all future administrations might scrupulously follow the law. Now wouldn't that be something for a change? There is an argument to be made that had president Ford not ...

  • The President Will See You Now

    Good writeup, but the statement below is factually inaccurate: ''George Bush held a flood of these anodyne serendipity-free town halls when selling his plan for Social Security, and they failed to galvanize public opinion.'' Those meetings did, indeed, ''galvanize public opinion.'' Against his plan. And how profoundly grateful we ...

  • This could also be tactical

    Two of the Bush administration's main advantages in their assault on the constitution are that it takes so long for cases to get resolved in our court system and the Courts, particularly the Supreme Court, have never spoken on many of these issues before. The Court has never defined the extent of the states secret privilege and never looked at ...
