John Snow has some choice words for Bill Keller and his ilk. I have no doubt that they were only interested in the program because it was a secret and because leaking it might hurt the Administration. Further, they are hoping and praying (well, maybe just hoping, praying is for rubes) they'll be tried with treason, sedition or at least leaking classified information which would allow them to martyr themselves. Here's hoping.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
