Bushwatch's Kent Southard swats one out of the park
"I'm reminded of an interview a couple years ago with Andy Card, Bush's chief of staff, done by Juan Williams, back when he still had his "happy darky" act at NPR. Williams had asked what the administration was doing to deal with the possibility of another terrorist attack. Card's response was kind of curious, because instead of replying with the expected 'We're going to get the bastards before they have a chance,' or even, 'Our disaster and medical response will be sure and swift,' Card said: 'President Bush will not allow chaos.', and he repeated the statement several times.

Even at the time, I took this Zen-like response to actually mean that any future attack would be met with nation-wide martial law, and this feeling was only reinforced with listening to Christian radio at the time which was unambiguously telling its faithful that it was their duty to 'obey their leaders.' "

1. They'll punish us over here, so they don't have to punish 'them" there.
Sadists don't really care who they abuse, do they? We are much more geographically desireable.
