How about that, a branch of a government (albeit in Kuwait), that actually stands up for itself and let's the people know that other branches of the government were preventing them from doing the thing's that they were given the powers to do!

Kinda reminds of what has been happening with the Bush & Co. and Congress!

But of course, here in the US, there's no way anybody in Congress would give up their gravy train and power to point out a flaw in the way things were being done!

Kudos to those cabinet members in Kuwait!
