Now, they’ll oppose the second stimulus jobs bill.
[And then take credit for its results]…
This is the same crowd who probably applauded today at the CPAC meeting when former Bush Justice Dept. lawyer Viet Dinh complained that Obama is killing too many terrorists.
The logic? If we kill them, we can’t torture them and “find out what they know.”
No acknowledgment that the #2 al Qaeda man has been captured and is being interrogated, hopefully, by non-torture methods that Gen. Petraeus says works better than torture. No, let’s find something negative to say instead.
Kill less!!!! Torture more !!!!
