i watched the hearing back in the gwbush days. it was amazing...the sad thing was that nothing came of it. valerie plame, torture, lies told to start a war, political hiring and firing for non-political positions, hatch act violations, on and on.

i believe with all my heart, if the crimes of the gwbush administration had been prosecuted as they should have been, we would not be here today. the republicans were emboldened. here on DU we like to say IOKIYAR as a sort of wry, sarcastic way to acknowledge the crimes they get away with. but apparently they believe it and have acted on it. time for it not to be okay whether it's a republican a democrat or any other affiliation.
