#1 why should they return the docs? You or I wouldn't get that treatment. They aren't above the law and I'm sick of these politicians thinking that they are.

Why is Hassert even asking this - a little nervous what they might contain? Cheney is asking this too? Heh- sounds like the good ol' boys may be going down. If the Repubs are going to also get caught up in this corruption scandal too - tough. Good riddance.

#2 Go ahead, let the House issue subpoenas over this, and watch the Republicans lose every borderline seat for the next 20 years.

#3 There is some deeply weird shit going on here. Congressmen do have a constitutional immunity while conducting the business of Congress. But please tell me they are not making the argument that bribery and corruption are an essential part of conducting that business. I hope Gonzalez and company have the stones to follow this through.

#4 How many CENTCOM Commanders have we trained in Iraq on building a new government to replace one that no longer had the 'consent of the govern'? Germany, Japan, now Iraq. I think we have an interim alternative if these clowns want to keep pushing it.

#5 Just for information, both pleaded and pled are acceptable forms for the past tense of plead.
