My friend unfortunately you fail to see anything that this administration does as wrongheaded. Apparently members of congress did. Rumsfeld [little Caesar] has allowed the power he wields to infect him mentally. His next assignment should be in an asylum, as an inmate.
au -- if you're right and nothing except Scrat's alleged pro-Bush bias explains his favorable opinion of this futures market in terrorism, how come the leading liberal newspapers of the country agree with Scrat and disagree with you? The
New York Times and the
Washington Post have both defended these markets in their op-ed pages. The New York Times article will become unfree soon, so I'll quote it in full length here. The Washington post is similar in spirit. There's also
an article on Tech Central Station that addresses the concerns raised by the senators in somewhat more detail.

Are you still saying, au, that it takes a Bush groupie to support such an idea?
