Quote of the Day

Athenae:

I don't get this idea that if Pelosi knew about torture it makes torture okay. It doesn't. It just makes Pelosi suck ...


And just something to consider: All the briefings Pelosi and the rest of them got were classified, meaning that even if she knew every sordid detail, she could say nothing legally. While I believe the moral answer should have been: she was willing to go to jail to expose this, she's a politician and saving one's skin comes naturally, as does the inclination to cover one's ass. None of them would willingly risk real jail time on principle.
