A BONUS QUOTE OF THE DAY-- FROM INDIA

"This administration cannot be trusted to investigate itself."
--Texas Rep. Silvestre Reyes

I suspect that not many Americans-- let alone Indians-- had ever heard, at least until this morning, of conservative Texas Democratic Congressman Silvestre Reyes. But this morning Representative Reyes was the toast of New Delhi when the Hindustan Times featured his announcement that, as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, he would initiate an independent investigation into the little matter of the destruction by the Bush Regime of the torture tapes.

The Bush Regime war criminals and traitors were, of course, hoping to sweep the whole thing under the carpet by (a) blaming Nancy Pelosi, and (b) having a bogus investigation whitewash conducted by its own lackeys. Reyes, who for years has tended to rubber-stamp much of Bush's agenda, announced: "This administration cannot be trusted to investigate itself." Well . . . better late than never, I guess.
