Scooter was charged, and convicted... He just got his sentence commuted by Bush (Heck of a job Scootie)

Oh well I guess that means Peter Parker will be banned from Louisiana....

"Spider-Law, Spider-Law. 'Cause some nut job priest was outraged at what he saw..."

Subjugated no... But I do think it is a part of the President's responsibility that his decision making process also be completely documented so that it can be reviewed (AT A LATER DATE). So that at a minimum; all future administrations have the benefit of of the documentation in figuring out what both went right and what went wrong...

I think the matter should be quite clear. If President-elect Obama thinks that using this device would let him do his job job more efficiently then he has a responsibility to do so.

It would also go a long way to saying (as he himself said on Meet The Press the other day when talking about CIA officials) that he is going to focus on getting the job done, and not about covering thing up from lawyers.

Lastly it makes for a great step in trying to repair the image of the executive branch of US government in that the presumption is that what he writes doesn't NEED to be censored from public scrutiny.
