Errare Humanum Est
@Slancio,
Mr. Krystal is making a profound point. His own gig at the New York Times is living proof of the "deterioration of the quality of thought of the pensioned opposition". The Gray Lady once again lets us know she is senile to the point of irrelevance.
There is, however, that interesting notion of Krystal's:
"erring on the side of safety". Would that be another step forward - an admission that one CAN err on the side of safety in these noble matters - or an artfully deployed contradiction in terms?
"But for the House Democrats, sticking it to the phone companies — and to the Bush administration — seemed to outweigh erring on the side of safety in defending the country."
O man! to get paid real-world responsible $$$ for that level of writing. . . Never mind Orwell, Kipling must be the saddest man in Heaven today.
