The United States Congress subpoenaed Josh Bolton, Harriet Miers and Karl Rove last summer, calling them to testify about politically motivated firings of U.S. Attorneys, a saga whose strangest manifestation has been the jailing of former Alabama Governor Don Seligman. President Bush ordered his staffers to ignore the subpoenas. This flagrant violation of Constitutional checks and balances persisted for months ... [Link]

The Seeking Pastor » Some Good Preaching
Posted 6 hours ago

Here's another."Big companies become risk-averse and are not willing to alienate power structures by calling a spade a spade, hence the lack of criticism that we saw in the run-up to the Iraq war. If that's not the role of the fourth estate, I don't know what is. When people write ... [Link]
