No, I'm not talking about members of the administration.
I'm talking about the movie starring Tom Cruise, back when he was still sort of cool. As the movie gets close to it's climax, the Tom Cruise character (Lt. Kaffee)asks (Col. Jessup) played by Jack Nicholson something to the affect that if you ordered Santiago not to be touched, then why was he in danger?. Grave Danger? Is there any other kind?
Great movie. Anyway, the same thinking could be applied to the current US Attorney scandal. The White House has claimed that it had nothing to do with the firings. Alright. If that's the case, why not let Harriet Miers, Sara Taylor and Karl Rove testify? If they had nothing to do with it, they should have nothing to hide.
Executive Privilege? OK. If you had nothing to with the firings, what's wrong with discussing what you knew and when you knew it?
Paging Lt. Kaffee.
