Wall Street Wiretaps?

    Hearts are fluttering at DKos and Atrios over the news that a Barron's editorial suggests that Bush's "willful disregard of a law" may be grounds for impeachment and should be thoroughly investigated.

    Good for Barron's.  But their position shouldn't be surprising considering how many high-stakes international financial transactions may have been "mined" in legitimate data sweeps.  Also think about the new iteration to insider trading that could result from illegitimate sweeps by unscrupulous operators, and you would have to go back to the Grant administration to find a more unscrupulous bunch than the present one.

    This whole situation would be funny if it hadn't resulted from such deadly serious events.
