Read this. Very scary. Cheney thinks he is above the law (and the congress has let him get away with it)

Or at least the US. I am convinced that before any of the huge issues that we need to solve in this country are even discussed we need to solve one huge problem: Money in politics. As long as winning office in this country requires donations from wealthy interests no serious change can happen. As a progressive coalition I think that (after getting out of Iraq) the only issue we should focus on, and I mean the ONLY issue, should be public financing of election. I don’t care what it takes, but right now your politicians, democrats and republicans alike, are controlled by (mostly corporate) interests. Until that changes, there can be no real progress.
