While I personally feel Mr. Sampsons memory seemed awfully convenient at times, I do feel he did as good a job as he could under the circumstances. Did he lie? I suspect he may have been less that truthful at times, perhaps to avoid incriminate others in the department, however I can only say that I suspect but do not know that as a fact. Did his testimony damage the AG, I would say yes, but again they have plenty of time for damage control before he has to testify. Did Rove play a part in any of this? My thoughts after listening to the testimony, is yes, was his part in this criminal, I don't think so with what has been discovered at this time. Was the actions of the AG's office criminal, at this point, it would not appear so, however it is too early to determine that with any degree of certainty. Is this matter important, yes, it is extremely important in that it looks as if some of the moves made were made to curtail justice being served. Is this investigation the tip of the iceberg as to what is to come? I feel that many of the actions of this administration need to be looked at with open eyes, but done with fairness to the parties involved. This should not be done as a witch hunt like was done in a previous administration, but with openness and honesty.http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/03/29/105168.aspx#106548Fri, 30 Mar 2007 12:53:28 GMT8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:106548M.E., Albany, Ga."Purgery"??- "Purgatory"-(Iron Maiden)
