Maybe SSA asked for a legal opinion on how to proceed from the likes of Monica Gooding or others from Pat Robertson's Regent University Law "School" who seemed to populate the Alberto Gonzalez justice department?

Having said that, the poster boy for lack of accountability is George "slam dunk" Tenet. Who can forget the detailed drawings of Sadam's alleged mobile biological trucks Collin Powell showed the UN. The stupid things never existed. Tenet kept his job and went on to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom along with two other incompetents, Tommy Franks and Paul Bremer.

So much for accountability.

I'm not good at math in the morning either but you were up earlier.
