Will Eric Holder do the right thing?

    HOW?

    Okay, Holder etal. need to hear public outcry. They can tap my phones, Internet cable, etc. I am all over this but they hear not.

    What other way do we have to register our outrage? Obama loves to use the web to TELL us what he wants us to know. Does he use the web to HEAR us, as well?

    I am getting cynical again. I got enthused about his candidacy because I thought, "Well, the man can think." I was sure he would be less than I want and than the country needs. He is MUCH less.

    Ideas?
