Even if you have to torture logic to do it. Chris Matthews tries to explain that of course
he would torture under extreme circumstances. The real crime, as
Matthews explains, is changing the definition of torture (via Radio Vice Online)
Ah, the hilarity that Nancy Pelosi hath wrought. After issuing
condemnations for the last several weeks of enhanced interrogation
techniques as an absolute repudiation of America, now the Left has to
figure out an attack on the Bush administration that lets Pelosi and
fellow Democrats in Congress who knew and approved the techniques off
the hook.
We can have a debate over what techniques work and what cross the line, which is the honest debate to have, as long as we have all
of the information on what was done, what was gleaned, and what was
stopped as a result. Matthews isn’t interested in honest debate. He’s
parsing madly to keep as much blame as possible on Bush for doing less
than Matthews suggests here, while absolving Democrats for their
participation. It’s not just hopeless bias, it’s hackery of the lowest
order.
