Tell the truth: did you write for one of those tree killers as an interesting young man? I did a lot I'm not proud of as a loose young woman. Now I'm an old prude. We should hang out.

The ones that saw 50x, 500x or 5,000x as much (often in fewer years) than this one? Granted 1 is enough for me, but. "...the culture of corruption and atmosphere of fear created by the Bush administration..." -- not this again. Read Timmerman's Shadow Warriors. “There’s been enough bloodshed in Iraq for several wars” – er, which would those be?

As for other agencies, now it's HUD. I expect a better question would be what agencies have <strong>not</strong> been harmed by BushCo. I can't think of any... Good point, the Church Commission.

Rossmiller continues, "While this adminisrtation has a limited amount of time to wreak havoc, however, the current and the future leaders in the intelligence community will be around for decades to come." I never thought about the Bush administration damaging the intelligence community for decades to come. I know that the administration has done terrible damage to the Justice dept for years to come but not the intelligence community. I'm sure there are many other damages that the Bush administration has harmed but I don't even want to think about it. When are the other branches of gov't going to do their job? I believe that the Democratic candidates have to expose the corruption of this group every day. Having a town in Vermont or a town in California voting to impeach Bush and or Cheney isn't enough. We need a promise from our candidates that whoever wins will have a committee like the Frank Church committee during the Watergate mess in the 70's to stop the bleeding of our constitution.
