JR, just out of curiousity, have Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft et al. done anything wrong since they've been in office? I'm sure the feds think they can make the case - shit, I'd be very, very suprised if any of the people busted can afford to defend themselves against the wrath of Uncle - but even in the "war on drugs", don't you think this is a questionable allocation of resources?

well, like Colin is probably suggesting, "wrong" is a subjective thing that would need to be clearly defined before answering yes or no.
however, is it "wrong" to go after people who are breaking the law? i dont think its ok to argue that its not - no matter how trivial.
do i think that its relevant that they can or cannot afford to defend themselves? no.
do i have information on the war on drugs that shows that resources are being wasted or that this announcement by the Justice Department somehow reflects the "fact" that there are more important things that ARE being neglected? i dont know. no one presented any information that proves anything. its just a conversation mocking an announcement that was made. no real info about it is being presented and no one is talking about anything specific.
do i know or you know that it was a questionable allocation of resources? i dont know. i dont know what resources were allocated exactly, what further busts are coming as a result of the investigation and what was neglected as a result of any focus (if there was any) on this particular case.
has John Ashcroft or George W Bush done anything wrong since they have been in office? i dont know. I am sure everyone can think of something they have done "wrong". I dont know how many more times i can repeat my opinion that Bush is a shitty leader. What more do you want?
