Privacy, just not for the people

The house has finally subpoenaed hundreds of documents that the Justice Department has either been withholding or censoring dramatically in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the firings of eight U.S. attorneys. Every time I read about Conyers (D-Mich) I like him even more.

My favorite part of this whole thing was the reason Justice spokesman Brian Roehrkasse gave for wanting to withhold or edit the documents:

Because there are individuals' privacy interests implicated by publicly releasing this information...

Let's see... when was the last time we were concerned about the privacy of individuals in this country??? Oh, yeah - illegal wiretapping! That's it!

Perhaps we should give the individuals to whom Roehrkasse is referring the same reassurance this administration gave us: If you haven't done anything wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.

The cover-ups in this administration stink almost as badly as the crimes themselves.
