Damn Treasonous POW War Heroes!
Regarding the fact that the Administration is trying to strong arm Republican senators Graham and McCain, Andrew Sullivan writes:
Well put. As I said in an earlier post, both of these men are conservatives and I do not agree with Graham and McCain on many things, but on this issue, they deserve credit. McCain, especially, should be listened to by this Administration; who better to explain just what the boundaries of 'cruel, inhumane, or degrading treatment' should be?

It beggars belief that, after Abu Ghraib, Bagram, Gitmo and the dozens of deaths in interrogation that the administration wouldn't want some way out of its own impasse. But no: as so often, it sticks its heels in, and refuses to acknowledge an obvious and terrible mistake in the war. I look forward to the hard right describing McCain as a leftist or unpatriotic because he wants to restore America's reputation as a country that acts ferociously but always humanely in its own defense.
