    Because its so easy..

    to take pleasure in the various investigations that ARE taking place, it's easy to lose sight of the ones that still are NOT occurring. But of course at the end of the day, thay are all tied together.

    Lets try this one on for size.

    Q: Why should we be worried that the administration is using data-mining techniques to gather information on all Americans if they're using the technique to look for terrorists.

    A: The administration has been systematically using its hiring power coupled with a little noticed provision in the Patriot act to pack the DOJ with people who demonstrate a willingness to use law enforcement powers to target political opponents.

    One needn't believe in mysticism to note that everything's connected.
