Anyone want to believe that these two mean a word they say?
The nation's top two law enforcement officials acknowledged Friday the
FBI broke the law to secretly pry out personal information about Americans. They apologized and vowed to prevent further illegal intrusions.
...
Rep. Pete Hoekstra, top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said the audit shows "a major failure by Justice to uphold the law."
"If the Justice Department is going to enforce the law, it must follow it as well," said Hoekstra, of Michigan.
Note to dear readers: before the November defeat of the republicans, Hoekstra was hardly a champion of "openess", so don't be misled by his crocodile tears. His total demands for real oversight were exactly, ummmm, zero, just like all the rest of his yellow-bellied Rove-fearing cronys. So anything he says now is purely grandstanding, like the rest of his congressional minority compatr-idiots who are trying to redeem themselves in time for the 2008 elections. Yeah, good luck with that, Pete.
The more shit like this that comes out, the more anyone not in a coma (or in the brain-dead 28% of Bush supporters or is that redundant?) will realize that the republicans were not working for a paycheck that anyone could see (see: Bob Ney, "Duke" Cunningham), but one that would pay off in later years. Except Cunningham was as big an idiot of a congresscriminal as he was a Naval Officer ... he was (obviously) never much good at either. Hell of an aviator though.
