Apologists For Torture

I have a hard time believing there are so many outspoken apologists for torture, er, excuse me, "enhanced interrogations that are so enhanced that we actually prosecuted people for them as having committed torture in the past."

Good grief. The Bush administration has enough people willing to fall on a sword to cover for them, maybe we ought to hand out actual swords. It's not torture if it's suicide, is it? Ha ha.

Wow. I was listening to Frank Gaffney on Hardball, who of course is an apologist for everything and anything that Bush ever did. Cheney, too. Basically you get any aberrant behavior that these guys did, and you can count on Frank Gaffney to support it and explain it away.

But I notice, somehow he doesn't allow President Obama the same courtesy. Everything Obama does, Frank seems to think is exactly the wrong thing to do. That's strange. Here we have these Bush apologists who used to make the argument that everything the president does is right by virtue of it being the president who does it.

But now suddenly we see some nuance. Nuance is coming out of their lying mouths.
