what is going on in the white house?!

ABC News: Spy in the White House arrested

ABC just released an exclusive. A US Marine was working in the White House as a spy for the Philippines. He worked in the White House for 3 years, and most recently for Dick Cheney. He then stole classified documents and passed them to the Philippines opposition. He's a naturalized US citizen from the Philippines.

But I'm a bit confused. I thought President Bush's declared policy was that no one would be forced to leave the White House staff unless they were CONVICTED of the misuse of classified information? Yet this guy just got frog-marched out for an allegation - he's not been convicted of anything.

Maybe Bush meant no white people.

Speaking of indictments...
From AP:
The Bush administration's former chief procurement official was indicted Wednesday by a federal grand jury on charges of making false statements and obstructing investigations into high-powered Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff.

The five felony counts in the indictment charge David H. Safavian with obstructing Senate and executive branch investigations into whether he aided Abramoff in efforts to acquire property controlled by the General Services Administration around the nation's capital.

I really hope he's still on the job. After all, Bush administration officials aren't expected to leave their jobs unless they're convicted. That is what the president said. Or is this guy a person of color too?

Seriously, what is going on with this white house and this administration?! Is there a single person that is trustworthy and who hasn't committed some crime or another? This is getting ridiculous!
