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.

I'm sure Panetta felt that way 7 years ago. He's only 67, so it can't be
that he's getting old and losing his memory.

When I heard him say it, I thought to myself "what a hypocrite!".

But I agree with you on this for the most part.
