Two recent stories illustrate the glorious fruits of the Bush Doctrine.
* The Inspector General at CIA proves again why the administration cannot function when IG’s do their job. CIA IG John L. Helgerson got a little too curious about torture at CIA, so director Michael Hayden decided to investigate him. Will Helgerson investigate Hayden’s investigation? And if so, how will Hayden respond? Updates no doubt coming soon.
* Whodathunkit? If you create a huge voucher subsidy for private schools but free them from having to comply with government standards, you get a shoddy mess. Thinking about the children might be a cliche but yeesh, a little wouldn’t hurt.
No oversight, no accountability.
