]Serra said the government is rushing to trial and wants to get ]convictions so Bush can use the case to help win re-election. [ Interesting. Though, I wonder, am I underestimating how much people will care about this issue? Is Bush overestimating it, as I believe, if this is true? I don't see how this can be of much use. As we've seen, it's the economy and iraq that are driving this campaign, though I expect some social policy things, such as gay marriage and abortion policy will make some impact too. This one, i just don't see being a major blowup, but I'm wrong on things sometimes... -k] |
