Dale, I have absolutely no problem with prosecuting anyone- Republican, Democrat, or Lieberman- who has violated the public trust by lying, stealing, cheating, conspiring, bribing, embezzling, or making shit up in order to go to war.

A perp is a perp is a perp. There are always perps in our system because our system breeds them (so do most everyone else's systems- I just wanted to get that out before you jump down my throat). There have been times in American history when the Democrats were the Alpha-perps.

This is decidedly NOT one of those times. My meager reading of US history suggests to me that the current Republican Administration may be the most crime-soaked, morally bankrupt, self- aggrandizing herd of perps in US history.

Yes, all crimes should be prosecuted. To suggest that some sort of Code of Hammurabi be invoked though- "an eye for an eye" - i.e. prosecute one Republican then prosecute one Democrat in the interest of "fair and balanced" is ridiculous. The scales are nearly completly tilted to the Republican side of the aisle.

Start with the biggest and most obvious: the one that's doing the most harm.
