Spot on, Michael Moore ... ... Dean is great! BUT! Clark and Edwards are the only candidates who are electable. Frankly, I think that all who voted to give Dubya war powers must be forgiven. There was incredible public pressure on all Senators to vote that way. Wasn't the vote almost unanimous? Kerry has given a reasonable rationale for his vote. Lieberman is the only Democratic candidate who has vocally supported the war. The rest want immediate exit strategies, don't they? This Iraqi mess is a true quagmire. The Republicans who so desparately wanted to take over the Senate in 2002 are to blame for using the patriotism whipping stick back then to create this disaster. Our economy is being ruined by it. And countless deaths and horrific injuries are resulting. This was a nasty dupe job done on the nation for short-term political gains. History will condemn Dubya for it. /john

Republican staff members of the US Senate Judiciary Commitee infiltrated opposition computer files for a year, monitoring secret strategy memos and periodically passing on copies to the media, Senate officials told The Globe. From the spring of 2002 until at least April 2003, members of the GOP committee staff exploited a computer glitch that allowed them to access restricted Democratic communications without a password. Trolling through hundreds of memos, they were able to read talking points and accounts of private meetings discussing which judicial nominees Democrats would fight -- and with what tactics. boston.com
