Look, concerning choice of targets, I'm as conservative as anyone, but questions have to be asked. If you went out on the street and asked 100 people 1) Who is the Senate majority leader? and 2) Who is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee?, how many correct answers would you get? Five, if you're lucky? No, somebody who knows who's powerful has chosen these targets.
From that, you can infer what you wish. I wish I didn't have to infer what I'm inferring.
