What are they hiding, indeed. Here's an interesting article, an opinion piece, but an opinion that's worth noting because it's an opinion based on verifiable facts, that should make anyone regardless of their political bent sit up straight and take note.
Obama only goes after leaks that don't benefit him - CBS News
It's about leaks and about whistle blowers, but it's about much more than that. It's about the seizure of power on a grand scale. It's three pages, and I highly encourage reading all three pages. None of it is news you haven't heard, but you've heard it all in bits and pieces, isolated from each other, as it happens. This piece puts it all together. And it's a piece that will put Eric Holder and Fast and Furious into the proper perspective. The CNN story, and others, has Fast and Furious, and the invoking of Executive Privilege, as being a story of politics as usual. It's not. Not by a long shot.
"What lies at the nexus of President Obama's targeted drone killings, his self-serving leaks, and his aggressive prosecution of whistleblowers is a president who believes himself above the law, and seems convinced that he alone has a preternatural ability to determine right from wrong."
"Here is the simple reality of our moment: the president has definitively declared himself (and his advisors and those who carry out his orders) above the law, both statutory and moral."
Once you read the piece at this link, it puts the Executive Privilege story into a new, and more accurate perspective. And it's a perspective that, as the author suggests,
"If this is where a nation of laws ends up, you should be afraid."
