IRS claims to be reforming

Help me out here. Should we believe it?

IG: IRS takes significant steps to stop tea party targeting

I like this part, despite having mostly no use for the highly-touted Mr. Sekulovitch:

"To suggest that the unlawful IRS targeting scheme has somehow been resolved is not accurate," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel at ACLJ.

Despite the report, Sekulow said, "The IRS still remains institutionally incapable of self-correction. No one has been held accountable. And the unconstitutional targeting continues, with one of our clients still waiting — after more than five years — for a determination on their application."

There are too many little wiggle words in the piece for comfort. "IRS takes significant steps to stop tea party targeting" -- it's not a statement actual progress is being made. "The IRS has improved training for agents, the report said, although the inspector general recommended even more training." They need training in treating people fairly and equally, do they? A reset to where they were before the scandal isn't enough?

Of course there's no mention of the thing that would give it some real meaning -- restitution to the organizations whose rights the so-called Service has trampled, much less the shackles Lois Lerner and Bozo Obongo so richly deserve.
