These three articles are just a lovely way to start the day. Not. Save them for lunchtime reading:
Release the Terrorist, Investigate the CIA: "I suppose that's what happens when control of the Justice Department shifts from the lawyers who spent the last eight years going after the terrorists to the lawyers who spent the last eight years representing the terrorists."
"
Killed in Washington": "The decision not to pursue indictments was made by top Justice Department officials, according to a person familiar with the investigation, who asked not to be identified because federal officials had not disclosed results of the probe."
Bomb Nostalgia: "When conservatives say (as I did in my book) that liberals, broadly speaking, have a romantic attachment to this stuff it's an outrageous slander. But when the New York Times essentially reports it as fact, it's interesting social commentary."
I honestly don't know what to say about them, except that a quote from the last link applies to all three: "This stuff is nauseating."
On second thought, maybe it's not good lunchtime reading after all. - FbL
