1. An Epitaph for the Bush Years
By Scott Horton for Harper's Magazine
....Still more horrible are the political prosecutions brought abusing
the good name of the United States. Today in the final hundred hours
of the age of Bush, America has political prisoners—men like Paul
Minor, Wes Teel, and John Whitfield, and for a while, Don Siegelman,
locked away and silenced because they constituted a political threat
to the Bush team, or simply because they held political offices that
Karl Rove coveted. Rove steered these cases. Political prosecutions
occurred in Alabama and Mississippi, in Michigan, and Pennsylvania;
politically perverted investigations occurred in New York and
elsewhere. And U.S. attorneys who failed to understand that the
criminal justice process was now no more than a partisan weapon in
the hands of Karl Rove quickly were dismissed.
