"That was different."
You're right. So are they, it IS different. GWB did these things for the security of the country, NOT for personal gain or to bring down his political enemies. I'm just absolutely flabbergasted that the Dems can say stuff like this with a straight face. How can they possibly be so blind? This is what scares me so much about the left - either they are so cold-blooded that they know exactly what they are doing or that they are so incredibly stupid that they have no idea. Lieberman is one of the very few exceptions that has both a conscience and intelligence.
