just imagine the reaction to this, say, if michael mukasey, one of george w. presided over this? or janet reno of the clinton administration had had this on her watch? white house, the liberal media, and democratic elected officials have swatted away these assertion assertions as nothing more than right wing conspiracy political propaganda, black helicopter paranoia and most routineny, unadulterated hatred for president obama. now, all of that may, in fact, animate many of the inquiries, but that doesn't vitiate their validity nor does it make the accusations untrue or undeserving of media scrutiny. the lengths to which the administration has gone to silence whistleblowers and their sources is nothing short of astonishing. simply put, this is not the american way. for those of us looking to draw attention to these issues, it's been infuriate to see many of the press often the victims of this very government overreach ignore and dismiss them even as their sources were being prosecuted under the espionage act more times than all previous administrations combined
