The Greater Danger
Jack Kelly weighs in with an important reminder:
[T]he greater threat to our civil liberties comes not from the measures the Bush administration has taken to protect us from terrorists, but from prosecutors who abuse their power for political purposes.
FOr years, the Democrats screamed about the mild-mannered Ken Starr -- who had been assigned the Monica Lewinsky case against his wishes. Funny that they're so silent about Patrick Fitzgerald, Mike Nifong and others.

I think your talking point is out of date.
Fitzgerald has already determined that Valerie Plame wasn't covered by the statute and therefore there was no criminal "outing".
At this point he's investigating who remembered what was said to Matthew Cooper.
>>I seem to recall that Republicans believed that a lie under oath was sufficiently criminal to justify impeaching a president. Now it's just a minor nuisance to be ignored?>>
And vice versa.
I thought that lying under oath was only perjury - and therefore a felony - when the lie was relevant and significant? If there is no crime, there can be no perjury?
Dittohead, please post a site/cite.
Here's one for you:
