The Cole post is too funny. You should post it right in the middle of the current discussion. LOL

LOL. I wonder if Mr. Wright called CanyonWren a scoundrel like he did to me. LOL - See my post a couple of pages back. LOL

It's pretty bad that he didn't even bother to fix it after both of us telling him he had the typo.

Thanks, Kitt. I'm not familiar with his diaries but the Greenwald heading caught my eye. I still post on Daily Kos because I think it's important not to let the Obama apologists have the field to themselves. I made the sarcastic post instead of a more substantive argument to this guy because he'd already been challenged on his specific argument about Greenwald. Plus I thought he really deserved a sarcastic response.

Thanks for the info bystander. I kind of figured as much.

I commented on the Daily Kos thread and Mr. Wright called me a scoundrel. LOL. Here was what brought on the comment.

"I read this article by Glenn Greenwald today and hurried over here to right a diary about how strikingly misleading it was ..."

I'll bet you did. I noticed a certain "rush to judgment" quality about your diary. And I'm sure the next time you hurry on over here to disparage Greenwald you'll be sure to tell us all whether Greenwald missed adding a link or even a comma or two that in your view he should have added.

By the way considering you are such an expert on the motives of others perhaps you can tell me why you used the word "right" instead of "write" in your very first sentence. Was this because in your haste to write this diary that you had it in your mind that you were "right" and Greenwald was wrong? Was this just a freudian slip on your part when you used the word "right" instead of "write" or was it deliberate? Surely it wasn't just a common garden variety error that most people, even Greenwald, can make sometimes when writing?

So does anyone know if this Sean Wright person posted anything here before he rushed off to post his attack of Greenwald at Daily Kos? I'm not asking anyone to look through all the comments (I don't have the time either). I was just curious if anyone knew if it happened.

I'm not sure the link that I posted in my previous comment is a good one because it has an old headline in it??? so I've added a link to my blog in my sig. The Broder post is the very first post on my blog.

Broder on Torture Investigations/Prosecutions

Did anyone see the David Broder chat on Friday? It was truly pathetic. I wrote a blog post about it here;

"But as a parent, I can also imagine the terror I would feel if one of my family members were rounded up in the middle of the night and sent to Guantanamo without even getting one chance to ask why they were being held and being able to prove their innocence." - Barack Obama

He doesn't even have to imagine the terror anymore, he can read it in the letter that a father, who's son was rounded up and sent to Bagram, wrote to him.

A Plea to Obama from Father of Detainee

The fact that Holder and Obama apparently agree with the Bushies on State Secrets makes me also believe that the spin put out that it was the Republicans who were responsible for holding up the Dawn Johnsen nomination appears all the more unbelievable than it already did. I say we have a bi-partisan effort to prevent Johnsen from being confirmed and perhaps a bi-partisan effort to keep those memos secret. This is all about coverup and not about transparency. The Dawn Johnsen nomination may have been a ruse all along designed to make us think that they wanted transparency when the facts show that they don't. Looks like Obama's multi-level chess game that his fanatical supporters use as an excuse for his behavior may actually be true only it's being used against us, not for us.

Thanks rrheard and sorry for not seeing your earlier post.

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I sort of thought that was the case.

Glenn and any other lawyers on this site - I just ran across this post on DU.

How About A Big Cup Of "CHILL THE FUCK OUT" Regarding Ongoing DOJ Court Cases

I'd like to get your view on this post because I'm not a lawyer so I don't know if this is BS or if there is some small kernal of truth in what this person is saying.

Did everyone see the dueling diaries about the Moyers show on Daily Kos?

Exactly! What are the odds of that happening! LOL
