If the Taiwanese Can Do It . . .
Yesterday, in Taiwan:

This post over at Booman Tribune - Treat DC as a Crime Scene - has been linked a lot, mostly in bitter amusement. But I’d take its prescriptions as an entirely reasonable start. Some might read this and think that I’m overreacting, or that perhaps we’d be better off with more magnanimity in victory. No. There is no shortage of reasonable suspicion pointing to real and actual crimes by this Administration (up to and including the President). Further, what we’d be better off with - both now and in the future - is a clear demonstration that we are a nation ruled by laws, not men. Fear of prosecution for breaking the law should be universal - whether you’re a member of the Bush Administration, the Obama Administration, or any future administration.
