They Vas Chust Followink Orders

Juan Cole nails it:

The Bush administration consistently gives us Attorneys General who lie about what the law is. Ironically, the defense Mukasey suggests for telecom companies that illegally turned over consumer records to government officials who had no warrant to request them, is that they were “following orders.” I think there were some trials where that excuse was disallowed.

    bush has perfected his criminal operation by appointing ‘yes-men’ who will give him legal cover for whatever criminal violation he wants to commit. Great American he is not!

    He’s setting a hell of a precendent, too. I wonder what right-wing dumbasses (like big dog & Cao) will think if a President Hillary tries to pull the same stunts? My guess: endless whining and empty threats that will be 8 years too late.

    I see you’ve crossed swords with the good nurse, big Dog. Let me guess… he banned you from his site because he’s a cut and running fool? How in the hell is he going to protect us from Islamunists when he can’t even defend his own half-baked ideas (I’m being very generous is calling them ideas) from random posters on his blog? He’s taken to addressing my unpublished comments at his blog in such a manner that his responses appear to have come out of nowhere which in turn makes him look like he’s got a screw loose. Or another screw loose, anyway.

    Feel free to drop by my blog where I like to dissect big dog’s – and other low IQ wingnuts’ – ridiculous rants. It’s as good a place as any to heap scorn onto those morons ;-)
