    Shifting views on Gitmo

    I am one of those deluded few who, although not blind to GWB's more obvious limitations, thinks the phenomenon described as Bush Derangement Syndrome (BDS) is real. The "evolving" views of so many liberals on Gitmo and related issues are funny to watch, and seem to be evidence that BDS is on the wane:

    Where's Seattle? His moral indignation over Gitmo was awe-inspiring . . . .

    David Cole on Detention in the Boston Review, and Joanne Mariner, Robert Chesney and Eric Posner Respond
    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

      LA, where do you find all these backwater right wing electronic rags?

      Here's a tip: You don't use carrots to post links to this site.
      When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
