Houston Chronicle on Reyes

[twilight_sailing]

"One of the things that's going to change dramatically will be the fact that for the first time in about six years we'll have some checks and balances," Reyes said at a news conference in El Paso. "The administration and the different agencies that work for the administration will see what I believe will be true oversight.

"And there will be real consequences that perhaps haven't been there the last six years," he added.

But Reyes indicated little desire to revisit past battles.

"I think our time is better spent looking at how we can be more effective, how we can be more accountable through oversight, in terms of what's going on in the Middle East and really other critical parts of the world as well."

1. Sorry, but "time better spent" is what's gotten us where we are

The refusal to BLAME people for wrongdoing, gives a free pass to do it again.

There is a way to make people own up to past wrongdoing, without appearing to be petty. There is NOTHING petty or vindictive about investigating how we got where we are.

Cops don;t "just look forward"..they investigate the crimes and get the :bad guys" off the streets.

That;s how you eliminate FUTURE wrongdoing. You punish and expose the ones who did it yesterday and are doing it today....so they CAN'T do it tomorrow..:grr:
