Rachel Maddow: "Journalism is NOT terrorism." She is supporting Greenwald. "It's an outrage."

8. Good for her. Some things are more important than party politics and it's sad that there those

who just can't grasp how important an issue this is to the American people.

Even during the Bush years there WERE Republicans who were speaking out and trying to stop this rolling train started by Bush/Cheney. Many of them had to retire from public service for their efforts, and we should not forget that several of the Whistle Blowers, like Drake and Binney were Republicans.

Obama just chose one of those Republicans who while a loyal Republican and Bush supporter, found that he could not support the frightening abuse of power that he was witnessing, James Comey.

Even for Ashcroft, there was a line that could not be crossed, and he had one moment of conscience when it came to these policies.

This is a unifying issue. People I used to fight with over everything, are in agreement over this and are not dishonest enough to blame only on Democrats, they acknowledge that Bush scared them on these issues.

Anger is growing around the world at the US over this issue. I would want to be on the right side of history if I were an elected official today.
