at least it shows we're not in full-blown anarchy mode..
GG, aren't the oaths of office that any public servant take to uphold the rule of law..and aren't there specific laws on the books to give whistleblowers safety by upholding law for "country first" in teh govt. sector as well?
On another note..For some reason this is stuck in my mind:the blowup that Cheney and Rice had very early on as the administration came into office about the NSC..
Rice claimed the territory was hers/Cheney said it was under his jurisdiction EO/CIC/military..
I can recall going online to say that it was a separate entity form the military complex-yet Cheney hijacked them to come under the military complex ie the Executive office with CIC jurisdiction..
Going online to find out directly-the NSC website-you can no longer find under who's jurisdiction it was under..
I believe Cheney pulled a fast one here-bullying Rice to get his neoconian "perpetual war" wetdreams passed..
the crime is the direct power grab by Cheney and the EO--which he subsequently waffled on later about his own VP responsibilites by saying "it was a separate branch on it's own"..
Did he make up this shit..to cover his own ass for his power grab of agencies to be under the "military" umbrella to support his own ideologies/war agendas-to stovepipe the intel?
I'm betting "yes".
