I'm concerned about the GAO
More specifically, I'm concerned that Bush and the GOP might actually think of dismantling it. The GAO (General Accounting Office) is a neutral, apolitical oversight division of the federal government, and the Republicans hate it for its no-nonsense watchdog activities.

Bush has abused his power in way conceivable, so I figure attacking the GAO is just par for the course.

1. Well they've already changed the name
to the General Accountability Office, which I'm sure bodes no good.

2. Given that "accountability" has no meaning in the current
administration I'm inclined to agree with you.
