Three brief things:
- Caught on tape taking a $100,000 bribe? Give up and resign, idiot.
- Al Gore: run!
- The government (and now the big telecommunications companies) are relying more and more heavily on an absolute "state secrets privilege" to get civil cases thrown out of court. Tom Blanton, director of the National Security Archive at George Washington University, says "50% to 90% of our government's secret documents should not actually be secret."
