Not when they are convenient to Republicans attempting to unseat a president they don’t like but because they require a certain decorum, a certain mode of behavior, a certain trust in one another and in our actions. The Bush junta has made a mockery of our laws and our Constitution. If Libby is found guilty — and all the handwaving and 4 hours of defense summation can’t change the basic revelations that have come out in this trial — then at least we’ll be starting down the path to a restoration of those laws. When someone talks about the Rule of Law in the future, about democracy, it won’t be mere empty rhetoric to bolster some underlying illegal activity that they’re engaged in.</p> It matters because we are a nation subject to our laws.

“Why has your cover been blown?”

2. Secret holding facilities of captured terrorists, including the address where you work.

3. Secret program to trace financial transactions by terrorists to fund their networks.

4. Secret program to listen in on phone calls between terrorist leaders and their minions in the USA.
