That’s what Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore said to a mob that gathered to support his flouting federal law and a court order. What exactly are we supposed to get straight? “It’s about the acknowledgement of

August 16th, 2003 · No Comments
Steve Malm points me to a link showing there is a story circulating that, in order to get revenge—and to send a message to anyone else who would cross them—the Bush administration recently “outed” a CIA agent because her husband was speaking critically of the President and his claims regarding Iraq.
