    Speaking of "rule of law"

    Spekaing of rule of law, CBS reports that now that Verizon has obtained immunity from prosecution for wiretapping, they're refusing to turn over records of what they did: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/27/national/main4297682.shtml

    I know, everyone is just SHOCKED by this. I'm not sure if we're going to see praise for this move from the pinheads at the Post, or whether they'll feign shock.
