Bonds & Bush Team Say Justice Doesn't Apply to Them


Barry Bonds asked that perjury charges against him be dropped because his interrogators asked "vague, ambiguous and confusing" questions. The Bush administration wants Congress to grant telecommunications companies immunity from spying on American citizens. Neither Bush nor Bonds will admit or deny their actions. They simply want a third party to make it go away.

Yes America, these are our role models. How many kids will grow up expecting to be let off for cheating, to not be charged for stealing? Will they look for some third party to wipe it all under the rug with a dismissal or rule change? Freedom and justice for all, just turned into "for some." It even has its international counterpart. Britain's head of overseas intelligence warned that Saudi Arabia likely would stop sharing vital information on terrorism if prosecutors pursued an investigation into alleged corruption in an arms deal, lawmakers disclosed. It involved members of the Saudi royal family and BAE Systems.
