    The Justice Department will confirm this is all just fine and dandy.

    Dear Glenn,

    Seems that by now people would have learned that Nazis can use anticipatory assault on individuals or sovereign nations as a pre-emptive measure. This legal viewpoint and the legitimacy of torture can be quickly confirmed by the puppet now running the justice department whose motto "not every violation of the law is a crime".

    Besides even if it is a crime for little people, it certainly would not be for a superior being in the commission of saving the world and keepin' folks safe from terrists.

    The part I am both frightened and saddened by is that there is still this large group of people who don't comprehend that some things are wrong no matter who does them or who they are done to, or why they are done. They are simply wrong.

    Also, seems to me this same swat team would do better to rush out to the airport with sirens blazing and slap the cuffs on any suspicious characters hanging around the Larry Craig memorial men's room. Each of these individual police officers should be ashamed of their individual participation in this awful crime against fellow citizens. They are similar on this occasion to the people who ran the gas chambers--surely they have some inkling what they are doing is wrong.

    Thank you for your good work.

    Conrad C. Elledge

    PS. on the subject of fake news reporters how about the numbchuck in the NYT yesterday who asserts that McCain's VP pick upstaged Obama's speech. talk about an assault-what a dork.
