Politics: American Justice

The Associated Press is reporting that "President Bush on Tuesday denounced the bombings in Saudi Arabia as the work of 'killers whose only faith is hate' and vowed that those responsible 'will learn the meaning of American justice.'"

Presumably, the American justice of which he speaks is different from the kind doled out to the investment firm Bear Stearns which waited a full two weeks before violating the agreement barring firms from using their 'impartial' stock analysts to push IPOs. Perhaps they too will soon learn the "meaning of American justice." Only, American justice for them translates loosely as 'tax shelter in the Caymans.'
