I agree, but my guess is that most bush supporters will be resistant to this idea for obvious reasons. It's not hard to predict what the spin will be when these people get convicted.
But the main point I'm trying to make is that, at this level of government, the idea that "indictments are meaningless without convictions" couldn't be further from the truth. We place our lives, our livelihoods in the hands of these people. We trust them, depend on them. An indictment at this level is a serious violation of the public trust. This is why it is unethical for a person at this level to remain in a position of power. This is why all the indicted individuals I mentioned resigned immediately.
One obvious "meaning" of such indictments is that it is time for a serious, honest accounting from the administration on the issues/evidence relating to them. The administration of course is not being upfront, they are stonewalling, which in my opinion is not good for this country.
