Wolfstar...that has always bothered me as well....but our President is his own man...remember he was there during alot of his father's presidency and saw what was going on...the loyalty in that family I understand as I have that same trait myself hence Baker and Scowcroft and some others being on the ISG...but I knew when I started hearing and reading the leaks of the report he would formally accept the report then file it in the circular file...he remembered what happened during the 1st Gulf War and will not make that same mistake his dad made...in this vein it is important to remember who led the legal team during the 2000 recount the very same Jimmy Baker that served on the ISG...the loyalty is there but isn't a blind loyalty
In 2000, Baker was a lawyer representing a client. Actually the law firm in which he is a partner represented Bush-Cheney. Nothing more, nothing less. It had nothing whatsoever to do with loyalty. You could say, well...he didn't have to take the case. True, but NO lawyer would turn down such a case.
