1. I think many of them, not simply Lieberman,

2. I disagree. I do not think liberman's views on this have suddenly changed since 2000
I think it is either conflicts of interest or revenge that are motivating him, not principles

3. It all depends on what Joe Lieberman's principles
actually are. I believe Lieberman's principles are such that a "conflict of interest" would cause him little pain, being easily rationalized, and that revenge is sweet -- Nemo me impune lacessit.
