12. toward more precise language

You're right, thanks for the correction. It would be more appropriate to say that Bush, through the good offices of Alberto the Pyramid, will cling to his lame legal defense, all the while knowing he was breaking the law. And yeah, I don't see any way around that--Bush knows he was breaking the law. But you're right--they'll stay with that defense until the bitter end. But will the collective "we" allow that defense, knowing that this sort of rationale, if allowed, can be transferred and adapted to any law that needs breaking?
