Go directly to jail, do no collect $200

What’s a guy gotta do to get arrested in this country?

The news today, if you are paying attention to anything other than Bush’s attempt to convince us he cares about poor people on the Gulf Coast, is that Private Lynndie England is going to prison for three years for her part in the Abu Ghraib disgrace.

Farther down the news chain, so far that it’s not even on the news chain any more, is Judith Miller, who has now been in jail for 84 days for refusing to testify about her source in the Plame leak case.

Cindy Sheehan went to jail on Monday (briefly) because she refused to move off the White House sidewalk.

Who’s not in jail? Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States and architect of the Bush torture policy; Karl Rove, the guy who actually revealed the name of a CIA agent to the press; and, let’s not forget the Commander in Chief, who knowingly lied to the American People to start a war in Iraq which killed Cindy Sheehan’s son.
