14. that "trust Daddy" attitude nauseates me |

No matter how "smart" Dean may be, giving legitimacy to a mass torturer is morally beyond the pale. And strategically it is short-sighted in the extreme. But what most concerns me about your argument is the implication that we should shut up because "Father knows best" - even though we are appalled at what he has done. When we give over our moral authority - as conservatives habitually do - we lose our compass, our credibility, and our passion.
