In a recent article over the weekend, politicians and CIA officials are in the midst of a massive finger-pointing exercise to determine culpability in an assassination program aimed at targeting Al Queda members issued by President Bush.
What do you expect? First of all, this was the first time since Pearl Harbor and (correct me if I am wrong) the first ever attack on our domestic soil since the Revolutionary War. It HAD be met with some harsh pay-back, which is one of the reasons we have been fighting a losing battle in Iraq since 9/11.
Secondly, with all of the issues we are facing as a nation today, who cares? Does Congress need to spend time and resources on this when we are printing money like its going out of style, local municipalities and states are faced with massive short-falls, and banks are failing left and right?
I am not condoning illegality in any way, but to go after President Bush today when Congress and the Speaker of the House had knowledge of the activity (albeit limited knowledge) is costly primarily to the intelligence community as well as taxpayers, who need our legislators to work on domestic issues.
To be finger-pointing and throwing people under the bus when our nation is in the most severe recession since the Great Depression is, well, depressing.
Grace & Peace
