With all the attention being paid to the Valerie Plame case, perhaps it’s time we took a look at what might well be a far more brazen case of retaliation against a public servant who did nothing more than tell the truth when the Bush administration wanted to tell a lie. Jesselyn Radack was an ethics adviser for the Department of Justice. When DOJ attorneys were involved in an investigation, her job was to make sure that they complied with the law to make sure the case did not run into trouble if it went to court with improperly gathered evidence or mishandled investigations.

(This sort of thing makes my blood run cold. Constitutional? What? The Bush Administration doesn’t have to abide by the Constitution! And what makes me even more angry is that so many Americans seem perfectly happy to just stand back and let Bush & Co. run roughshod over their rights as Americans. Disgusting.)
