The BushCo philosophy in a nutshell

From today's NYT article on Attorney General Gonzales' meeting with U.S. Attorneys in Chicago:

In Chicago, some prosecutors accused Mr. Gonzales’s subordinates of operating as if the prosecutors were an obstacle to be side-stepped instead of a resource to be tapped in developing departmental policy, one person said.
That sums up BushCo's philosophy on virtually everything. Can't get the intel you want on WMD? Have Rummy et al create a special "intelligence" organization to supply heavily spun "intel." Having problems with international allies? Us a recess appointment to put in a henchman who has long been openly contemptuous of the UN. The list goes on and on.
