    Kiss, kiss, hug, hug--as usual

    I am the Loyal Opposition. There are millions of us. I am just starting to look into Holder--I do remember his going after Pinochet after the Letelier assassination--getting details. I suppose that is a good thing. Elian Gonzalez? You decide. Clapping thousands in jail for drug stupidity? You decide. I know we have a ceaseless, stupid, nonproductive drug war out here in Phoenix. Marc Rich--doing the president's bidding or trying to please or something. Maybe he was even floated (notice our pres-elect tries things out to see which way the wind blows) because it would give them another swipe at Bill Clinton. As for someone on this list who was happy to hand over his or her right to privacy--is there some way you could surrender without taking me with you?
