  Glenn, Glenn, Glenn...

  There you go again with your "accountability" schtick.

  Didn't you hear Ahnold in "True Lies"? Asked whether he ever killed anybody, the answer: "Yeah, but they were alll baaaahd."

  Somebody thought these dead guys must have been suspected having been, or having known, someone who was probably "baahd." Isn't that good enough for America?

  Really. When we get to the end of this, is America really willing to go so far in ignoring what we all want to characterize as "mistakes" by the Bush Administration that we would rather normalize the conduct by changing our fundamental constitutional principles than redress it in order to enforce and respect those principles? And for no better reason than that we collectively accept the idea that those principles can be jettisoned by the unilateral and secret acts of the Executive Branch if there exists a perceived threat to America? Really?

  Happy Fourth of July weekend, America. Anyone think timing this release for later this week has anything to do with news cycles, "taking out the trash", a congressional recess and a hope that the MSM won't want to interrupt the fireworks shows celebrating the birth of American Democracy over this particular weekend? How pathetic.
