    but why?

    why Do they sound so different, in their stances. now.

    especially given the quotes that mr. greenwald is so kind to find, and from the not distance past at all. i'd choke if i had something in my mouth other than my tied-tongue at this turn of events.

    it reminds me of cindy lou who & the grinch. and how, before his heart grew three sizes, he stole the very crumb too small for a mouse to eat. besides sliding out the candy cane from the sleeping tot's tiny hands!

    it's just that, who can be sure this "story" will end on such a high note? wtf. i don't understand stupid torture and i hope i never do. there are better means and ways. when will we ever learn?

    bah. humbug. i'm most curious as to the priorities of our new administration.
