George Bush told the truth yesterday
Bush on why the White House is so desperate for telecom amnesty: "The litigation process could lead to the disclosure of information about how we conduct surveillance."
Glenn Greenwald [2008-02-29]

  • GG

    In a functioning democracy, when high political officials break the law, such behavior is actually supposed to be "disclosed," not concealed.

    I've made the point at least twice before and it has dropped into the blogosphere like a feather into a black hole.

    Bush 41 preemptively pardoned Caspar Weinberger in order to keep his own involvement in Iran Contra from reaching the light of day.

    The Democrats and the press said little to nothing then, what is happening now is just more of the same.

    I'm not aware of a preemptive pardon ever being exercised before in the history of the Republic, are you?
