A good question, in the midst of another good post.
We can know that we tortured men to death and do nothing, because we are desensitized to killing. We routinely kill innocent men, women, and children around the world on the flimsiests of excuses.
Our government had know for years that Saddam and Iraqi Baathist Party were secular and not in league with al Qaeda at all. Yet we invaded Iraq and decimated an entire country based on false information --- that any thinking American knew in their heart was false.
So Glenn, what is so different here that makes it any worse than bombing wedding parties for sport? Not any is my answer. Therefore, I wager that the rulers in DC will not go after anyone here other than a scapegoat or two.
