Get the camel's nose out of my tent

Devil's Tower at Daily Kos argues that the news today that DEA agents, seeking to convict a drug trafficker, staged a car accident, then staged a carjacking, and finally lied to a judge, all in an effort to get a suspected dealer out of his vehicle long enough for them to conduct a surreptitious search is a direct outgrowth of the Bush Administration's disdain for human rights.

There was a time several years ago when I think one could have argued that this kind of thinking was unduly shrill and unjustified. Even then, of course, some people blamed Bush for everything from global warming to bad fishing, but most of us would have thought that was overreaching.

No more. Now, we know that Bush has his hand in almost everything that's gone wrong in this country. And, he definitely has his camel's nose in almost everybody's tent.
