bravo ..the truth..but again..journalism that comments and doesnt solve...or provoke or suggest the unthinkable ..that there are prosecutable crimes being perpetrated by polticians against those who cant defend themselves..why not suggest that the politicians need to stand trial for war crimes, crimes against humanity over iraq and racketeering over handing jobs to their cronies in the corporate sector, human rights abuses over americans in jails over a faulty plea bargaining system (take a low guilty plea,but lose innocence first, not last) and endemic racial bigotry throughout the education system..this article does an excellent job of articulation and, although further along, does a very poor job in substantive provocation towards a solution, which is what journalism is also about, still one of the best articles and most sensitive i have seen
