Q: When is Felon still a Felon? Mark Kleiman has the answer here in perfectly lawyerly fashion...guess that's a good reason to be an Attorney? At least you can make a persuasive argument!
Answer: When it's Elliott Abrams or any of the other Iran-Contra criminals...you know the ones now running things again; Poindexter & Co. I'm just surprised that Ollie North has not been given a gig in this administration yet. I guess that they are waiting for a position as a fatuous bullshit artist to open up ... oh sorry Ari has that job at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, and Torie Clarke has it at the Pentagon.

update
Mark tells me that he is not an Attorney. That's OK, he's a really smart guy (just go check out his blog) you'll enjoy it!
