This may not be the action with the worst consequences, but to me the fact that the Bush Administration lied to NY firefighters about the toxicity of the world trade center smoke at the exact moment of their greatest heroism and hence condemned many of the bravest of Americans to debilitating illness is the most shameful act of the Bush Administration. It is like sticking a knife into the guts of the person who just risked his life to save you.

And it seems our judicial system agrees.
