I hope she's honest, as she seems, here's a good test:

Let Dawn Johnsen publish the OLC opinions.

About half of them are secret, including their redacted titles and dates. "List of Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel Opinions 1998-2007" (DoJ, OLC, FoIA response, October 29 2007, signed by Bradley T. Smith, OLC Attorney-Adviser): http://www.governmentattic.org/docs/DOJ_LegalCounselOpinions_1998-2007.pdf

These are secret laws, secretly interpreting public laws, contrary to what the public and Congress think they mean, as some disclosures demonstrate. These secret opinions are binding on the executive branch, the operatives secretly licensed, by those secret opinions, to wage violent crime on orders, for example.

This simple act, flooding that criminal cockpit with sunlight, that is the only way she can claw back public trust. The public now properly regards her office, the DoJ OLC, to be a violent criminal enterprise.

If Dawn Johnsen starts down the "trust us" path, claiming continued secrecy is necessary, she will explode a justified public fury and plunge the Obama administration straight to the bottom of the GWBush&Co cesspit, and nobody can resurface from that deep trench.

Publishing the secret OLC opinions, this would attract immense talent, from the public, commenting on the opinions. Everybody has special interests, and all of us together, as a group, we are experts, in every topic on that secret list of secret opinions.

We, the experts, will soon expose their defects, or bless them, where they merit it. And, we'll do it for free. High-powered legal talent, free of charge, the biggest and best law firm in the world, working for free, producing a rich harvest for the OLC boss, Assistant Attorney General Dawn Johnsen, and, a bonus, a Wiki law firm commenting on the comments.

And, I want the transcripts, video/audio, memos -- the work product -- which gave birth to these opinions, not only because it's evidence for future criminal prosecutions, some of it, but also, we want to assess the reputation of every voice who participated, their fitness, to hold an office of pubic trust.

Here's "simplistic moral clarity":

Hamas Qassam rockets, targeting civilians in Israel, are lawful.

A belligerent reprisal, against Israeli war crimes e.g., the siege (blockading food, medicine, other non-contraband), and unlawful targeting (e.g., infrastructure).

A belligerent reprisal, targeting innocent civilians, is not a crime, it's not terrorism, it's law enforcement, in the words of the governments of the U.S. and the EU4 (U.K., France, Germany, Italy), and other countries with the same military doctrine, details: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jksonc/docs/israel-us-war-blockade-reprisals.html#reprisals

The chorus of voices, from the leaders of those countries, labeling Hamas a "terrorist organization," because Hamas uses this very same law enforcement tool, this is a "lie" by those officials (concealing a material fact, their own view that belligerent reprisals targeting civilians is lawful).

Their lie is an overt act in a violent criminal international conspiracy, an act of aiding and abetting, criminal complicity in Israel's violent war crimes, chiefly Israel's armed robbery of Palestinian land (West Bank), Israeli occupied Palestinian territory, and flooding that land with 500,000 Israeli settlers, both, war crimes, details: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jksonc/docs/ic-settlements.html

Can you grasp that "simplistic moral clarity," Glenn?

So long as any reasonable person, reasonably informed, can view Israeli actions as violations of the laws of war, war crimes -- Richard Falk, for example -- then Hamas commits no crime, no act of terrorism, when it acts on its own concurring view, and launches Qassam rockets and suicide bombers, targeting innocent civilians, in Israel, to coerce Israel, to terminate its violent crimes.

That's what the U.S. and the EU4 say (U.K., France, Germany, Italy), but not when they're busy lying about Hamas, they don't.

I don't fault you for your ignorance, Glenn.

You've been lied to like everybody else, by these violent criminal hoodlums (U.S./U.K. government officials, Israelis, the Israel lobby, and others).

But I will fault you, Glenn, if you decide to remain ignorant about this.

Or, having dispelled your ignorance, if you decide to remain silent, about it.
