CREW Top 25

icon_reminder.jpgWatchdog group names top Bush Administration Criminals & Scoundrels.

You have to wonder how they narrowed it to 25! Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington ("CREW") has carefully selected the 25 most corrupt Bush administration officials. The list includes Kenneth Tomlinson, Claude Allen, Brian Doyle and 22 more. Noticeably missing is Lewis "Scooter" Libby as explained here:

Lewis "Scooter" Libby, though a high-level administration official under indictment, was not included in the report because CREW serves as counsel to Joseph and Valerie Wilson and, in a December 21, 2006 order, U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton strictly prohibited CREW from commenting on the Libby matter for the duration of the criminal case. For the same reason, we have not included anyone else involved in publicly disclosing the identity of former CIA covert officer Valerie Wilson.

Executive Summary and full download link at the CREW site. Let's be sure to remember these names - it's likely a number of them will show up as candidates, isn't it? Nice work, CREW.
