Cause and effect, or Liberal crybabyitis

Cause: “Sure, we waterboarded Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, former President George W. Bush reportedly said on Tuesday.

“And he would ‘do it again to save lives.’"

Effect: “George W. Bush's casual acknowledgment Wednesday that he had Khalid Sheikh Mohammed waterboarded -- and would do it again -- has horrified some former military and intelligence officials who argue that the former president doesn't seem to understand the gravity of what he is admitting.”

Retired BG from intel field: “We are seen by the rest of the world as having abandoned our commitment to international law. We have forfeited enormous amounts of moral leadership as the world's sole remaining superpower. And it puts American troops in greater danger -- and unnecessary danger."

Hey, BG. When “the rest of the world” has its own soldiers in great danger, then you can talk about how “we are seen.” As long as the US of A is dragging the wagon, we get to make the rules.

(Probably the first time Huffyton Post used “glib” and “Bush” in the same sentence.)
