Words mean nothing to Bush and friends. The words: "I pledge to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic" properly state that a Karl Rove pushing his agenda should have been one of the first people Bush commanded his attorney general to arrest.

In a breathtaking bit of logic, Mukasey told the American Bar Association this week that "not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime." The hair-splitting in this analysis is that because the meddling officials broke the civil service law, not criminal law, there was no need to bring criminal charges. Absurdly, Mukasey suggested that the "negative publicity" the officials suffered was punishment enough. Boston Globe
