More In W's Secrets Stash

Apparently there's even more going on in secret with White House Resident Bush's "War On Terror" beyond what's been dragged out into the light, namely the wiretapping and bank account sniffing stuff. A congressional Conservican from Michigan, Pete Hoekstra, sent W a letter warning him that his failure to disclose such black baggery may be in violation of the law. "We have now been briefed on those programs but I wanted to reinforce to the president and to the executive branch and the intelligence community how important by law is the requirement that they keep the legislative branch informed of what they are doing," Hoekstra said. Which means that now our elected representatives know what's lurking in the darkness but we are, as usual, left swinging in the breeze. I hope at least a slim majority of voters will remember this come November when we get a chance to scrape some of the dung off the Hill.
