that there need to be many, many trials - and those would probably stretch throughout the next administration - as they should. Why is this important? A "rush job" (to be the clock for the next election) would be easily diminished by the corporate media and the public psyche (ie what becomes conventionally accepted wisdom/understanding in the general publi) wouldn't get the full gist and disgust at all the malfeasance that has gone and the huge damage that has been done to our system of government, our protections as citizens and our general national security. However trial after trial would inevitably get the ongoing coverage and get the average joe/jane on the street to get a general understanding of how people in this administration have worked to subvert so many aspects of our government - and with that understanding would be desiring NO political affiliation with the GOP who have been part of the party's power nexus in recent times. In that way there isn't an impression that this was just a bad apple situation and a different GOP candidate (for Pres, for congress, for governor, heck for dog catcher) would be just dandy.

Look at how much more aware the public is that there are some very, very serious problems in the DOJ and with Gonzales - even if folks aren't familiar with all arms of the corruption/story. That is because of the investigations and how each hearing leads to more questions and more areas to probe and more areas of corruption of justice. THIS is how the investigations should unfold- and should (and in the DOJ case I believe will) lead to convictions down the road.

As is so often the case - I agree with you, Kharma Train.

Off to work for me - will check back tonight! :hi:
