Via Crooks and Liars: I don’t know how much confidence I have in Andrew Sullivan, a conservative columnist with a blog at time.com.
Next week, I’m informed via troubled White House sources, will see the full unveiling of Karl Rove’s fall election strategy. He’s intending to line up 9/11 families to accuse McCain, Warner and Graham of delaying justice for the perpetrators of that atrocity, because they want to uphold the ancient judicial traditions of the U.S. military and abide by the Constitution. He will use the families as an argument for legalizing torture, setting up kangaroo courts for military prisoners, and giving war crime impunity for his own aides and cronies. This is his “Hail Mary” move for November; it’s brutally exploitative of 9/11; it’s pure partisanship; and it’s designed to enable an untrammeled executive.
Hail Mary and to hell with America? That sounds just like Karl Rove. It sounds just like Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeld and the rest of that rotten bunch.
Is it true? We shall see.
