“Delay Sought by Justice Department on C/I.A. Inquiry” – front Page – December 15, 2007


Thank you Charles Schumer and Diane Feinstein! These two weak-kneed Democratic Senators caved in and approved the nomination of Michael Mukasey to become another Bush puppet as the third Attorney General in his Constitution bashing, law-breaking administration. For over six years the Republican controlled Congress blocked every attempt at Congressional oversight, and now with the Democrats in charge it’s more of the same.



The very idea that the Congress should not receive whatever data it needs to conduct whatever investigations it chooses, demonstrates just how far America has strayed from the rule of law. The C.I.A. was told by Congressional leaders, Intelligence officials and key members of Congress not to destroy the tapes. The only “significant risks” to Mr. Mukasey and his so-called Justice Department is that the country will learn just how far George W. Bush has placed himself and his administration above the law.
