My thanks go out to the Grand Jury in DC for sitting for 2years
and listening to all that came before them

You have certainly proven that you are good citizens!

1. I'd love to know the logistics of all this
1. Are they "on call"? How much time are they given?
2. How did they get selected?
3. DC/VA/MD residents?

6. It must be pretty miserable hearing all the filth and putrescence
of these neocons' cowardly acts. Then they can't even go home and repeat it. The GJ is doing hardship duty.

11. I'm pretty sure it's all DC residents...
Unless I'm wrong about the GJ selection process.

4. Amen! Let's give them all
Congressional Medals of Freedom! (just so that it can mean something again).

Even without seing the results of their work, I am very grateful to them. 2 years ago, I seriously thought this whole thing would be whitewashed by Ashcroft.

I know they only met M-W-F, did these people work like heck in other jobs on Tues-Thurs?

I would like to send them all a big THANKS!
