White House Ethics, Honesty Questioned

A majority of Americans say the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby signals broader ethical problems in the Bush administration, and nearly half say the overall level of honesty and ethics in the federal government has fallen since President Bush took office, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News survey.

If the leadership of the world superpower is dishonest, and these people are controlled by multinationals that lie and decieve us (from commercials to platitudes) then where does decency begin in ordinary society? Who sets an honest example, who can we hold accountable? Which person says, "Well, no one has treated me fairly or with truth and honesty, but I'll stand up and treat others fairly and truthfully."

Jerry MaGuire: These fish have manners.
