Not necessarily. Clearly Rumsfeld's role was materially different than the various members of Congress, so the standards for prosecution would be different. If you said "if you prosecute one member of Congress who had been briefed and signed-off, you'd have to prosecute them all" I'd be in total agreement. And mind you, I'm not saying there aren't Congress-critters who ought to be held to account (I just don't know what their involvements were beyond possible briefings), just that their role was quite different from Rumsfeld's, obviously. _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
