Good life

The recent news about a Fox reporter who was accused of being a co-conspirator was not a surprise to those in government. Apparently it is a common practice to exaggerate the potential crime in order to convince a judge to approve a search. The government says they had no intention of prosecuting but only made the claim to make it easier for the judge to issue the order. This reminded me of Al Gore when he was asked about some of the misinformation in his book and he responded by saying that it was necessary to exaggerate in order to sell the book. Ah, the ways of government!
