    But her column was in the past...

    They're looking forward at NPR, not backwards, Glenn. The column was written in the past, like the enhanced interrogation techniques and the OLC memos from Yoo and Bybee that greenlighted them and the orders from the President, Vice President and their Cabinet level officers and Guantanamo and the writ of habeas corpus and the presumption of innocence and the doctrine of separation of powers and the Rule of Law. All in the past.

    Let's not bicker and argue over 'oo killed 'oo. And certainly not over what to call it all.

    But thanks for trying.
