Well, now we know how many dead and wounded it takes to break Senators Lugar, Voinovich, and Domenici’s slavish devotion to the Iraq Disaster. How many more for the next GOP defector from the holy cause of party-above-all?
Not, mind you, that we're seeing much dissent against military industrial keynesianism & (paradoxically, but one of many contradictions) neoliberalism that the Democrats are mostly signed up in a bloodpact with, too. Senator Clinton's quietly admitted that the megabases in Iraq will not go unmanned, and Obama the Hopeful One is only selling a notion (one bottle will cure what ails you, friends), so don't expect much from him. In fact, nothing should be expected from them; they need to be forced to represent us.
“Executive privilege” is the latest bullshit defense being put up the anti-democracy team bunkered in the White House. Unitary executive, fourth branch of government, monarchy, if the President does it isn’t illegal, Commander-in-Chief, yadda-yadda. A government of men -- or corrupt dwarves, as the case now is -- instead of laws is not a pretty thing.
