If the Bush administration had not planned on assassinating al Qaeda targets, I would understand the Congressional Democrats calls for investigations into Dick Cheney and "insert Republican Boogeyman here".

But the calls for investigations of the Bush administration for discussing the idea of assassinating al Qaeda targets are far more puzzling. I mean, did the Eisenhower administration investigate Harry Truman for not informing everybody in Congress about the plan to nuke Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Who in Congress gave Lincoln the okay to fire General McClellan? How about the Minutemen? Did they wait to see the whites of the enemies' eyes before shooting or for an invitation from Nancy Pelosi?

It is the nature of presidents to seek to defend America from all enemies foreign and domestic and it is the nature of intelligence agencies to keep secrets. The fact that Congressional Democrats object to a secret plan to kill al Qaeda members at war with the U.S. Deserves an investigation. Coming so soon after so many Democrats on Capitol Hill--Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John Edwards, John Murtha, Rod Blagojevich, Pat Kennedy all abdicated their duties and voted to "authorize" the president to go to war in Iraq makes the current phony outrage pretty darned laughable.  Especially since the plan never got off the ground.

They're just upset that Cheney won't 'friend' them on Myspace. That's all this is truly about.

Seriously, though, it's extremely sad that the party that cries so loudly about being a "nation of laws" is the very party that regular shouts, "Witch! KILL THE WITCH!" and "we don't need no stinking badges" to wantonly accuse every one of our political enemies guilty of a crime.  Presidential findings are perfectly legal.
