| #6 One of these two made the terrible decision to railroad Tommy Chong, to a great extent because of his advocacy of marijuana, and admitted it was because he had offended the DEA. It was a gratuitous bust, and they used the threat of decades behind bars for him and the prosecution of his family to get him to agree to a 9 month sentence. Spending $12M, in addition to using 2,000 federal agents, they achieved 55 arrests resulting in fines and home detention for 54, and threw Chong in prison. It was a generally embarrassing and egregious abuse of power. For his part, Chong did not suffer in prison, as he was held in such high esteem by the other inmates that no one would dare offend him. |

| #5 Procopius2k - precisely! Expect the media to spin this to make the US attorneys the villains. |

| #4 Bush was a fool not to replace all US attorneys when he came on board. The level of corruption would be much more apparent by now and might have made a difference in the election. |

| #2 Gorb; Not if you use the same logic the Democrats have been using against Bush. The two may be hoisting the Dem's on their own petard. |
