    think again Shapiro

    Just want to disagree with a point Mr. Shapiro made that it would be impossible to imagine Palin browbeating CIA analysts to get the facts desired by a McCain administration. Walter might want to go read Glenn Greenwald's article on Palin. Not only is it easy for me to imagine Palin browbeating anyone under her, I am quite sure she will do just that if elected to office. Just look at her history. First thing she does upon getting elected to office in the past is start firing and browbeating underlings who she susspects as being somehow not loyal enough in order to get her way. Same old bush/Cheney MO. Nothing will change with a Palin/McCain administration but things can sure get alot worse.
