Do ya feel lucky? Well do ya, GEORGE? In a VERY surprising turn of events at the Department of Justice, newly confirmed Attorney General Michael Mukasey and his staff have re-opened a long dormant and MUCH NEEDED investigation into the legality of George Dubaya's warantless domestic spying program, directed against American citizens who so much as make a phone call or write an e-mail to a foreign country.Under the previous incompetent leadership of Alberto "Not So Speedy Gonzalez", those officially involved in the investigation were denied the proper security clearances to carry it out (presumably on orders from Bush). Now, in almost no time, they were given these clearances. And I bet 'ol George Dubbaya is shaking in his cowboy boots and will probably try to go Nixon on these guys.
My view, FWIW, it's about time that Bush's Constitution-shredding shenanigans came under investigation. The thought of a Bush prosecution/impeachment is delicious, but probably unlikely knowing how GUTLESS and wimpy Congress is.
In any case, hats off to Mr Mukasey and his staff for doing the right thing! The AP story HERE
