It doesn't matter if he "needs" to be in jail.
If you or I are required to serve time until we either post bail or have charges cleared, why isn't he? Technically his charges were cleared, but it was premature. It wouldn't have been done otherwise. If this guy dies, it's a crime.
Under the constitution, he's not allowed to be above the law in such a manner.
That's my main issue with all of this. It's easy to say "Oh, people are just saying this because it's the Bush administration," but I'd expect there to be just as much uproar if a Dem were to be in the same situation and allowed to walk free (or be treated higher) than everyone else.
Either change the law to ignore "accidents", or follow through with the same treatment others have to go through!
