America then and now

It's now commonplace for our political and media elites to explicitly renounce the principles of justice which the U.S. long led the world in advocating.

    No attacks before 9/11 either

    From -93 to -01 there were no attacks either. And before -93, when was the last attack?

    The argument "there have been no attacks, so torture is fine" is moronic. Anyone who says it is either an idiot, or a liar. I don't know which is worse.

    Thanks again Glenn for not letting up on this. Also, Joe Klein in Newsweek.com today: "The Bush Administration's Most Despicable Act" http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1870319,00.html

    Clickable link at sig.

    I am not convinced that the idea of investigations and prosecutions against Bush and his DOJ is losing all traction. Seems like more people are actually encouraging it.
