59. Let's just blame the wrong people, shall we?
Edited on Fri Jan-28-05 03:54 PM by leyton
Every person, every child who is tortured or wrongfully detained will deserve an apology not from the NAZI terrorist we have allowed to run our country but from the supposed leader of the opposition who let a lawless torturer take over law enforcement in America.


So it's not the fault of the soldiers who committed the acts, their superiors who ordered it, the lawyer who wrote the memo, and the President who looked the other way? It's the fault of the guy who was elected Senate Minority Leader after the fact and who may choose to spend his political capital not on the President's pick for AG but maybe for SC?

You seem to think Reid has unlimited power. You think wrong. He's got limited abilities in the position he's in, and I'd rather he pick the battles he can win.
