The failure to lock up the Bush Cabal for war crimes is not relevant to question of locking up Stevens for political corruption. He is a Senator and he used that office for corrupt practices. Jail is appropriate.

So, in your opinion, 80+ year olds should be allowed to accept bribes freely. (nt) |

So unless a crime reaches the same level as a war crime then no time should be served? |
