Leon Panetta made this point very strongly last night on the News Hour with
Jim Lehrer. He also went on to say that *anyone* in the Administratoin who
gets indicted should resign their post until their name is cleared.
Unfortunately, Lehrer missed this meatball lobbed right over the plate. A
sharper host would have asked Leon why he didn't favor this strategy for
*his* boss just 7 years ago?

Lehrer is above that, which is why he's the anchor and you drill stanky
teeth.

I disagree with Panetta and haven't the slightest idea why anyone who
hasn't been convicted, much less indicted, should give up his post. The
matter of resignation should be between themselves and their bosses.

It's an affront to our system of jurisprudence and the presumption of
innocence. That said, the Republicans are awfully quick to condemn
people, even when presumed innocent.

That they eat their own isn't surprising.
