I'm not like you. I don't cheer political prosecutions just because it's my side abusing their power. This is no different than Reno's and the IRS attacks on World Net Daily or Paula Jones or the NRA.
I'm not a hypocrite. I don't approve of it from either party.
If the protestors were guilty of piracy (which they weren't) Ashcroft should charge them with piracy.
But pursuing Greenpeace, the organization, with "sailor mongering" charges is disgraceful. The act of an Attorney General with no respect for the equal application of the law. He's a political hack who should be worried about terrorism, not unwashed hippy protestors.

Well! Is it all right if the issue of whether there has been an abuse of power is discussed? I realize you've reached your conclusion, but it is not at all apparent to me that it is correct. And it certainly is not clear there is any comparison to the previous administration, if we are to base our judgement on this lone column.
And that does not a hypocrite make.
