There was a time, so long ago, when John Kerry thought himself quite the war protester, quite the moralist, throwing away his Vietnam War medals, or at least copies of them, to show what he thought of Washington incompetence and hypocrisy. Well, now he’s personifying the same. According to Josh Rogin, reporting at the Bloomsberg…

Torture? Is that even a word? Use it in a sentence! On a second thought, forget about it!
Yes, just when you thought we had reached bottom, well, the bottom falls out. Andrew Sullivan, still manfully pursuing the torture scene, has more bad news. Obama’s found yet another way to cave for the CIA! “The Obama administration is actually now debating whether the legal ban on torture by the CIA in black sites…
Liar, Liar, Hair’s On Fire
OK, this is not what I signed up for. Andrew Sullivan accurately diagnoses President Obama’s stance on torture as “hate the torture, love the torturer,” linking to this story by Jonathan S. Landay, Ali Watkins and Marisa Taylor in the newsobserver, which tells me far more than I would like to know about the Obama…
The Obama Administration’s “bad dude” theory: If you’re dead, you’re guilty
The AP summons up some “nuance” on the latest U.S. hit on someone, somewhere in the Middle East, taking out “the Khorasan Group,” who were, it seems, fairly likely to be planning to take out someone, somewhere in the U.S., or maybe somewhere else. Who knows and who cares? Explained Rear Adm. John Kirby, “I…
John Kerry: Yes, I am beneath contempt and unworthy of high office. Why do you ask?
I guess John Kerry wants me to hate him. Here’s what our secretary of state has to say about Edward Snowden, the dude who exposed massive and ongoing illegal and unconstitutional spying by our government: ““Edward Snowden is a coward. He is a traitor. And he has betrayed his country. And if he wants to…
Obamamotto: Hate the torture, love the torturer. A lot.
“The creatures outside looked from CIA to Obama, and from Obama to CIA, and from CIA to Obama again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.” George Orwell remains unfortunately on-point 30 years after, thanks to the absolute determination of our “most open administration in history” president to ensure that there shall…
Edward Snowden, patriot
Kudos to my not favorite newspaper the Washington Post by giving us a real Christmas present, an honest interview with Edward Snowden, who makes President Obama and his various assorted mouthpieces look like the moral midgets they are. When the history of these times is written, Snowden and the unhappy Chelsea Manning will be remembered…
Susan Rice for NSA? Maybe not such a good idea
Page 2 of the Glenn Thrush source-greaser I sneered at yesterday contains the following regarding Susan Rice: Rice — who reportedly holds no grudges against Clinton [who supposedly did not do the Sunday talk shows following the murder of Ambassador Stevens in Benghazi because she “hates” them]— walked into her fateful Sunday trial with eyes wide open and bent…
Murderers, left, right, and center
Everybody’s doing it, so it must be good, right? Michael Moynihan leads off the hit parade at the Daily Beast with “How 1960s Radicals Ended Up Teaching Your Kids,” detailing American academia’s endless fascination with murderers—left-wing murderers, of course. They’re so gosh-darn authentic! The murderers in residence currently include Cathy Boudin, already a member of…
The war crimes of Barack Obama
The New York Times opens a window on oppression, American Style, with a powerful statement by Samir Naji al Hasan Moqbel, an 11 year inmate at Guantánamo (11 years without being charged of an actual crime). I’ve been detained at Guantánamo for 11 years and three months. I have never been charged with any crime….
