Glenn Greenwald and Marcy Wheeler (aka “Emptywheel”) go into the legal weeds to refute, in fairly mind-numbing detail, the efforts of government lawyers/enablers David Barron and Marty Lederman to pretend that it’s OK to murder someone if they talk too much, as set forth by New York Times journalists/stenographers Mark Mazzetti, Charlie Savage, and Scott Shane, whose handiwork I excoriated in much less learned terms yesterday. There’s hypocrisy by the barrelful, to be sure, and if you want the contents fairly weighed and measured, check out what both Glenn and Marcy have to say.
