The more logical interpretation is that Chertoff has both saved ReadID and sunk Spitzer. Now, I don't like Chertoff at all, but I think we have to give credit where credit is due. I suppose what this means is that until Chertoff does his next evil deed, I'm keeping my mouth shout about him in graditude for what he has accomplished here. The analysis seems dreadfully off.

Its a Felony to knowinly aid and abet illegal aliens staying in this country. Giving the Drivers licenses is aiding and abeting... clearly. Why is Chertoff NOT enforceing the law? or is he above the will of the people, and the Congress?
