This Yahoo! article is about the achievements of Congressional Democrats this turn. These achievements are weakened, in my opinion, by the lack of bite on “ethics reform” by the Democrats and the fact that many of them haven’t even been signed by Bush and might actually be for absolutely nothing.

Want to read something scary? The FBI raided a former Department of Justice’s official’s home, took his computer and his children’s computers, and tore the place up looking for information on who leaked the NSA Wiretapping Surveilance program to the public. I understand why the government would do such a thing, and they had a warrant, but it’s a chilling event because it intimidates future leakers.

Who will want to tell the truth to a reporter if it means that their children’s possessions will be at risk?
