Maybe it is just late, but I had trouble picking out the worthy new information provided in the article. There is a lot of repetition of the Ashcroft hospital visit, and some new details that are a little difficult to judge as to their importance.

This is an excellent article. Well written and thoroughly researched. President Bush is not presented in a positive light and it appears he engaged in felonious criminal activity with the help of his future AG. Bush's remark that he decides what the law is for the executive branch mirrors his rationale for signing statements.

This report cites unnamed sources as stating that Gonzales has told federal investigators that Bush put him up to trying to obtain Ashcroft's approval of the Bush surveillance program while Ashcroft lay ill and medicated in a hospital.

Detailed facts, placed in facinating context and exploring potential outcomes.

All of these details have been available for a long time except the president's involvement. That was suggested but not strongly. Murray Waas seems to have secured his details. Why has nothing been done about these things? Since nothing has been done, the flag needs to fly or fly again, looking for justice and truth. Or not. The passion for prosecution that the Republicans have shown in the recent past seems to be missing from the Democratic forces.

It is too long. Could have made the point in half the number of words. Also does not have link to sources. The subject matter is good but I think the article can be improved.
