Remember Delay using the FAA to track the Texas Dem's flight??
Edited on Tue Dec-20-05 01:34 PM by nytemare
AP) Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta has ordered a review of the Federal Aviation Administration's role in helping U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay track the plane of a Democrat who joined a walkout from the Texas Legislature.

This is precisely why we should not simply trust the administration to "oversee" itself on the wiretaps. Abuse of this power.

1. How come it took him two years?
I'm pretty sure he heard about it then...

3. I would imagine he did.
My point is more a comparison of Delay's abuse of power to the current situation with Bush. This, along with everything else Bush has screwed up should be enough to give us pause about his intentions on this policy.

2. His investigation included walking the route personally.

4. Arrogance Abounds
The Bushco arrogance "do as I say, not as I do" makes me want to puke.
WE cannot TRUST them to oversee any policy or procedure.
What scares the sh!t out of me,should Bush ever be impeached - we'd really be f*cked with Cheny.
The whole lot needs to go - clean sweep!

8. Mr. Mineta is now covering his own ass against covering up a crime.
Is there a meltdown going on within the Bushie Cabinet?
