It seems like everyone in this administration has to be a made man.

Like the crime families, they have to demonstrate their infinite capacit for crime,lying,bloodlust before they are given assignments.That ensures that the person so entrusted will remain loyal and not rat on this administration and he can be called on to perform mores such services without any coercion needed.

A partial list:

Negroponte: Cut his teeh in the death squads in El Salvador and Nicaragua.

Scalia: Wilfully flouted the Constitution in anointing Bush in 2000.

Cheney; Let me count the ways.

Rumsfeld: Running out of numbers.

Ashcroft: 9/11 enabler.

Blair: A British Imperialist piggybacking on the American colossus.

Sharon: Always handy when a bloodthirsty job needs to be done, especially on the Arabs.

Musharraf,Allawi, Karimov and a cast of thousands: All our type of dictators, not the least bit squeamish about boiling their opponents or ours in oil.

1. Well, afterall, it is the Bush Crime family we are talking about here

2. They're made-men -- you can't touch them without a sit-down first.

If you look at the Bush administration as a racketeering organization, everything falls into place.

For example, take a look at Coingate in Ohio. That's the same scam the mob used to pull with union pensions and crooked accountants (complete with kickbacks to The Family aka campaign contributions).

And what he's doing with the US Treasury? Exactly the same as the mob does when they acquire a business they don't want to run. Sell everything but the doors and windows (and sell those too if you can find a buyer).

The Bush admin is nothing less than a criminal racket, writ large.

The biggest difference is that John Gotti wouldn't have been able to rip off 8.8 billion dollars in his wildest dreams. The size of the heists of the Bush Crime Family puts all previous criminal mobs to shame.
