    That's it! You hit the nail right on the head with this post.

    The topic of this post clearly illustrates this exact kind of moral duplicity which is the hallmark of the reactionary mind-set. A vacuum the size of a black hole exists when it comes to wingnuts having it morally both ways; topped-off with the arch and self-righteous certitude in which their hypocrisy comes wrapped-up in. The idea of the pot calling the kettle black is a concept that just doesn't compute in any rational sense in the minds of people like John Yoo.
