Rays of light, but before the dawn or darkness?

       Glenn Greenwald was at his best when the Black Congress was at its worst. I was glued to his posts all during the "debates" which led to the Military Commissions Act, truly the most egregious piece of legislation passed in my lifetime, if not in the last 800 years of basic concepts of freedom, civil liberty, and rule of law according to respect of human rights long before they were called that.
       But now in a better sense, he is well worth reading for what may be good news for a change. The headlines say it all, or at least all except that those within those departments are the ones or may be the ones to come forward. Police, believe it or not, are capable of policing themselves, at least when prompted to by the press or a watchful public. It is only the politicians who seem incapable of cleaning house. Here are some recent topics of his all lined up like ducks in a row which caught my eye due to their symmetry, as well as all being long overdue.

The significance of the FBI's law-breaking
The DOJ's explicit refusal to obey the law
Gonzales' unprecedented efforts to block a FISA investigation (into crimes by the NSA)

He only left out the obvious sources who requested all of these, as well as breaking numerous treaties; against the torture of prisoners, on rights of prisoners to trials, on the conduct and justifications of war, and many, many others, all of which in addition to the equally discarded Constitution, are equally what the Supreme Court has stated to be the "Supreme laws of the land". They may one day be again. So must say we all.
