blunder

That's what the LA Times calls it: "Blunder by Prosecutor May Save Moussaoui's Life" (CNN article here)

A government lawyer knowingly violated the judge's order by emailing trial transcripts and coaching witnesses. This wasn't a mistake; it was malicious and unethical.

It's no wonder the Bush administration wants trials of terrorists clothed in secrecy, prisoners detained without having charges officially filed against them, and scores of documents reclassified as confidential. Funny that this is the same President who touts an era of "accountability" (see No Child Left Behind).

some how in this battle with terrorists we must not lose sight of what we are or the terrorists will have made us into the very people they claim we are. No one said staying with our principles would be easy or safe.

This is what happens when you choose people by their ideologies rather than their abilities.

The same thing is happening in the medical/scientific field. A promising vaccine against one of the most common causes of cervical cancer is being withheld because he believes that it will promote promiscuity.

Hate is a strong word, but I hate this president, and all who do his bidding.

I'm sorry to say that I am not surprised by this. The guy pled guilty to taking part in an al Qaeda conspiracy to hijack planes and fly them into buildings. Of course the gov't would screw up such an easy case! Morons.

These people have no conception of ethics, morality, honor, decency, accountability or concern for the welfare of others. Now it's blowing up in all our faces and will continue to do so. The sad thing is I'm not surprised. Not one bit.

Btw, accountability means that we are accountable to King George.
