What frosts me is the total unwillingness of the congress to provide any check on the FBI. Police agencies *will* go beyond constitutional bounds. It is the unwillingness of congress to discipline gross violations that encourages them to do more and more unconstitutional acts. They know that they will never be held accountable.

When the FBI can murder 80 men, women, and children on national television, the voters change control of both houses of congress, the new Republican leadership agrees to have hearings, and then, then at the last minute, changes the whole agenda into one that blames the victims and clears the FBI of any wrongdoing, it seems pretty hopeless.

Sure, Klintoon was in charge, but if the Republicans had cleaned house and put a few FBI officials in jail, we would never have had a second Clintoon term and the Republicans would have solid majorities in both houses today. Lack of integrity and corruption must run very deep for the Republican leadership to give up that vision so easily.

Very true. And the cleanup should have been way bigger than that: if the military was in on the operation, you'd be dealing with what? A constitutional crisis? And it's even worse, of course, if it's true that British military forces were participating (with a special recon plane).
