Reply #11: Luke, towards the end I was asking myself "Where's the Onion site link?"...

When you said that you weren't available for comment, it did seem a bit odd.

On the other hand, if an "end game" is played out if and when this administration feels like it is surrounded and going down and perhaps off to prison, this might not be that far off base (short of Bush's personal endorsement of Sibel). Perhaps they might want to drag down some Dems with them, and provide what they might perceive as that "ounce of Nixon's honor" that Keith Olberman was complaining that this adminstration didn't have in not resigning like Nixon did. Perhaps they might rationalize that "all should pay the penalty that are guilty" and bring down the Dems involved in the process. Perhaps that wouldn't be such a bad thing, if it ever comes to pass and those taken down are truly guilty of treasonous acts, regardless of party affiliation. Interesting way to put forth to Waxman that perhaps if they deal with it now, less Dems will be viewed as complicit with these conspiracies, if THEY rather than the Republicans instigate hearings for Sibel.
