It's also the sleeper cells in so many departments at so many levels, set to awake and sabotage any meaningful clean-up procedure. Justice is probably worse off, but Education, Interior, and State are almost as bad. All have fundamentalist whackos in multi-level bueracracies spread throughout our government, using Inquistion level hiring practices to self-propogate the "Proper Employee Belief System". Woe be to the worker that misses a prayer breakfast. It’s not just the legal timebombs set to go off next year and the year after that.

State courts would be closed to litigants once the agency gives its approval. Liberals and the plaintiffs’ bar smell conspiracy, but as Mother Jones makes clear there is one man to credit (or curse) here, Daniel Troy (above)." "liberals" is cabdrollery. heh. at http://healthcare.zdnet.com/?p=784 Thanks for the link, thought you’d enjoy this little ‘journalamism’ I tracked down - always fun to see your referrals;

Because we can't have reconciliation until we get it all out in the open. Yeah, I’ve been thinking that for a long time now. Because we can’t have reconciliation until we get it all out in the open.

The Bush administration has perverted the executive agencies to such an extent that it is going to take years to discover all the damage they have done. If the Democrats decide to sweep this all under the carpet, they will be denying us the justice we deserve.

From Congressional review cited at Americablog: "Complacency has likely set in to the highest levels of FAA management," the Minnesota Democrat said in a Capitol Hill news conference. "I think we have seen the pendulum swing away from vigorous enforcement of compliance toward a carrier-favorable, cozy relationship with the airlines." Same thing with the FAA apparently.
