DoJ Teaching Hide The Documents From Congress?

   The Democrats have started some of their investigations and with some of their inquiries they have been getting stone-walled by the Department of Justice.

   Here is the DoJ  Mission Statement

    To enforce the law and defend the interests of the United States according to the law; to ensure public safety against threats foreign and domestic; to provide federal leadership in preventing and controlling crime; to seek just punishment for those guilty of unlawful behavior; and to ensure fair and impartial administration of justice for all Americans.

   Someone must have forgot to tell them that when the Bush Crime Family came into office back in 2000 because we have had our 4th Amendment rights scrambled and now they want to protect us from the congressional oversight committees.

      It looks as if the Department of Justice is teaching other agencies how to sidestep the Congress with their questions and material request.

The Justice Department, which serves as legal counsel in court proceedings for other departments, has repeatedly gone beyond merely protecting its own actions from scrutiny. Even when Congress was in Republican hands, Justice Department officials advised other government departments on how to stonewall congressional review. These efforts now appear to be ramping up.  More Here

   This cannot be a good thing.

    Maybe we just need to trash both of these political parties and start all over from scratch with people who aren't lawyers and professional politicians.

Blair House Reception With Bush and The Iraqi Elections

   These are a few days old but I though that they were worth mentioning just for the hell of it.

At a farewell reception at Blair House for the retiring chief of protocol, Don Ensenat, who was President Bush's Yale roommate, the president shook hands with Washington Life Magazine's Soroush Shehabi. "I'm the grandson of one of the late Shah's ministers," said Soroush, "and I simply want to say one U.S. bomb on Iran and the regime we all despise will remain in power for another 20 or 30 years and 70 million Iranians will become radicalized."

"I know," President Bush answered.

"But does Vice President Cheney know?" asked Soroush.

President Bush chuckled and walked away.

The much-vaunted series of Iraqi elections, frequently confused with democracy, produced a spectacular breakthrough for axis-of-evilers. Jamal Jafaar Mohammed, a man sentenced to death in Kuwait for the 1983 bombings of the U.S. and French embassies, now sits in parliament as a member of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shiite-dominated ruling coalition. He enjoys parliamentary immunity, i.e., cannot be unseated.
