While there is merit to assigning dollar values and other cold statistics to the national ruin brought on by the Bush administration, they do not tell the essential story. The authors mention the Constitution once in their account of the devastation, but I believe it is to that document that irreparable damage has been done. One might argue that we may eventually recover from some of the terrible losses and deficits detailed in the article, but whether we can ever recover the rule of law and other founding principles is, in my view, doubtful. It is important to remember that much of the damage done by Cheney and Bush is still secret and remains to be exposed.
