FWAAA-
You and I certainly agree that we should be wary of the power grab. I'm for giving these guys slack, but not forever. 1,200 people detained and no charges or indictments. As I said, I'll wait and see. But not forever.
While the clear bozos who are proven failures-like Mineta-should go as soon as the de-briefing is over, I really feel we have to give some of this time. I was not for these guys a year ago but that said, this is a tough job that no one trained for, and no one could. Thatt's not patriotism, it's just common sense.
