1. I'm opposed. Bush wants this bill so he won't be impeached. |

5. I think what people here are objecting to... |
|
are media hos like Judith Miller and Bob Novak helping their neocon friends commit felonies and then abusing the First Amendment to dodge going in front of a grand jury to answer for their crimes. Then you have someone like Miller going on TV and giving a sob story on how the media is under assault by the government because she was compelled to reveal her information or go to jail. Talk about chutzpah. Personally, I think she should be in jail for being Chalabi and Perle's stenographer before and during the Iraq war, although that's not the reason she was subpoenaed by a grand jury.
