"It's only an issue when your opponents do it?"

it is an issue now because it's happening now and NOW is when we might be able to do something about it. george w bush happens to be president NOW and has condoned these acts by allowing them and punishing no one but enlisted men/women. no matter how much we dislike the fact that previous administrations seem to have engaged in this disgraceful and unamerican crap there is no political will to call any of them to account. but if we act NOW on information that shows bush admin. evil practices we might be able to put a stop to such things. if all we do is keep up the partisan hogwash that resembles first grade logic and debating skills (wahhh!! he did it too!! they did it first!!! wahhh!!!!) then we will watch the door close on a brilliant historical experiment (american democracy). we live in a dark time.
