Trouble is, both parties are in it up to their necks, and the Dems are probably loath to relinquish the new presidential powers that have been magically conjured up by the "Yoohas." (Apologies to Jonathan Swift.) No, unlike the evil Sauron, the Dems will use the Ring to accomplish good! And therefore I expect the Dems to go easy on the perps and instead focus on "healing" instead, making full use of the imperial presidency to do so. Some "healing" life under the presidency of <I>anyone</I> besides Ron Paul will turn out to be! -- it will be more of the last eight years. Sort of like being raped by a stronger cellmate in prison, maybe the American people will eventually get used it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-8704108126637574942008-01-08T17:46:00.000-07:002008-01-08T17:46:00.000-07:00I suspect Yoo's contribution to the legal philosop...I suspect Yoo's contribution to the legal philosophy of compassionate fascism is unlikely to be found a sufficient direct or proximate cause of the victim's injuries to sustain this case. It was Bush's decision to torture, and the torturers themselves who did it. Yoo rises no higher than obedient charlatan - who (as your inspired historical reference points out) only rationalized what his masters already wanted. Plame's attempt to hold the Administration liable for damages was a more plausible (if not successful) run. <BR/><BR/>I'm afraid the "lustration" of this degenerate Administration is in the hands of the next Attorney General.Matthew Melmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919806743302840072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-75866477612307388102008-01-05T19:12:00.000-07:002008-01-05T19:12:00.000-07:00Articles like this are why I read everything Will ...Articles like this are why I read everything Will writes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-24924284575231794092008-01-05T10:29:00.000-07:002008-01-05T10:29:00.000-07:00Will,Just a quick comment to wish you and your fam...Will,<BR/><BR/>Just a quick comment to wish you and your family a happy, healthy and prosperous 2008.
