You're ok with a person who conducted an illegal investigation, then lied to Congress about it, running the TSA? Hypocrisy definitely noted.
Peterson's attorney says it was common practice for Bolingbrook police to run checks for friends and family, and to run prank names to alleviate boredom.
I hate to burst the bubbles of all y'all, but every cop I've ever worked with has done this at least once, whether it was for a friend, or the record of a boy who wants to date his/her daughter, or even a neighbor who seems "questionable." Cops do this kind of thing all the time. Running someone's record is inappropriate (albeit, in my book, semi-understandable). The inexcusable part was lying to congress about it.
Agreed, they do this short of thing all the time FOR family members. The thing, I hate is that he lied to congress about do it in the first place.
THAT is the issue, not that he was sanctioned for inappropriate conduct 20 years ago. He should have just brazened it out.
Wow! Maybe there really are some limits to what even Democrats can get away with. I was beginning to wonder...
He ran a background check on his ex-wife's b/f, without a warrant, or probable cause.
You ain't down with that, are you?

However, it takes two parties to play politics. I hope y'all remember that what goes around comes around.
Hey apdst, could you maybe give us a list of the things that are "small and blown out of proportion" and which things are actually big violations for you.
Cause it seems in some cases, like running a background check, you get all up in arms demanding action taken however it seems in others you immedietely dismiss it, excuse it, and never once actually state action should be taken against the FBI for violating the law.
Gee, I wonder what the Difference could be.
Heh, my girlfriends uncle did this very thing to me and apparently all the boyfriends of her and her sisters over the years.
How about you throw a few scenarios and I'll let you know what I think of each one. Wanna try that?
How about holding prisoners without access to an attorney, torturing, and killing them in "Camp No"?

Got any problems with the human rights violations in that?
