Are we a nation of laws, or a nation of men--some held to the law, others allowed to flout them?&nbsp; You must, if you are true to your oath of office, compel testimony of Bush Administration officials.</p><p><br></p> 27288 8767 1 12955 1 2008-06-27T08:06:54-07:00 6888 2008-06-27T08:08:52-07:00 27289 8767 3 12955 1 2008-06-27T08:08:52-07:00
