Given the doldrums we find ourselves in, unless this has legs outside
the confines of the legislature and embedded media, somewhere probably
in the blogland where the Downing Street minutes found sustenance, it's
another outrage without a remedy. The behemoths will go on laying waste
to the commons. With the utmost impunity. The "outing of Plame" matter
languishes, as do all the alleged connections between the administration
and Iraq sums sequestered and unaccounted for; the connections between
Cheney et al and the twin towers, stolen elections, and so forth. Still,
the Al Capone/income tax evasion/Watergate syndrome may be the only way
to get these far more predatious swamp slime.

An interesting speculation. Such speculations are usually false (since
they necessarily can't consider all the factors involved), but one
symptom of depression _can_ be a tendency to see intention where no
intention is involved. A nearly universal depressive symptom is an
ability (while failing to fall asleep) to recollect a series of (real or
imagined) errors and deficiencies stretching back to early childhood,
accompanied by an imagination that all the people affected by those
errors are at this moment recollecting the event (which in fact they
probably never noticed to begin with).
