Federal agents damage private property in a raid will face law suit. Great news for private property rights advocates!

Scott Peterson deserves the death penalty according to the jury which heard his case. Blah blah. Of course now the wall to wall coverage will be about his 37,921 appeals motions to be filed over the next 47 years, as well as the morality of the death penalty itself in our legal system. The more important issue for me is: why did this case become the spotlight of so many media outlets? I think it was a snowjob by some very high level people to distract the attention of the public from other important events, it was a smokescreen. Some things that haven't been given nearly their due credit:

1. John Kerry's treasonous past
2. UN oil-for-food scandal
3. The explosion in the US national debt and reckless spending
4. The situation in Iraq worsening without the progress being made quickly enough
5. Bush's cabinet and top advisors being corrupt or unqualified, such as Condy Rice-the Soviet Communist scholar, Alberto Gonzales-the former affiliate to La Raza, Bernard Karick-DHS Secretary nominee who withdrew over questionable personal history.

First Bush gives us mandatory psychiatric screening for all children, now the DOJ is holding an American in prison for medicaid fraud, and has done so for 8 years? Our founders would be so proud.
