It isn't "his" house, it is "our" house.  And we have policies in  
place to prevent just this sort of thing.  He just doesn't believe  
that the rule apply to him.

And that may be what distinguishes the habitual crooks from the  
occasional law breaker.  If you exceed the speed limit and you know  
that you are breaking the law, you may do it with caution.  If you  
believe that you have a right to ignore any law that you oppose  
without liability, then you may do it without concern for the natural  
consequences.

Bush, Cheney and company believed that they were above the law, and  
that they were immune from legal limits in their pursuit of their  
goals.  We cannot have rule of law if our top leaders can operate  
without legal limits, we might just as well return to rule by King  
George.

If the CIA program was not "fully implemented", does that mean Bush  
and Co. hadn't found a method to record and analyze 100% of our e- 
mails?  Or that they couldn't track and record 100% of our phone  
conversations?  Or that they didn't have dossiers on 100% of the  
population?

The question might be, "what were they trying to do?"  If the pilot  
program tracked the every move of 100% of the population in a single  
city like Forest Grove, would that be sufficient for concern, even  
thought it was not "full operational"?

Cheney should be investigated and if necessary tried for those laws  
that he broke.  If convicted, he should make restitution or serve  
time as appropriate.

I expect that he would end up doing time.  I would hope that he would  
be sent to some prison in Iraq for the deaths he caused there.
