The deep thinkers of the right in the shallow end of the fray or Bennett shoots craps
Bennett is, ironically, locking in on what he thinks is a disconnect.
Dana and her WaPo story deserve the Pulitzer. The matter may be dispensed with ready ease through a very simple examination of what her story revealed to who.
On one side you have a group of religious wacko's (no, not Bennett and Robertson, the other ones) who say they will face death. They found out that bad things might happen.
On the other side you have the American public. They found out just how vicious and stupid BushCo was. Prior to Dana's reporting, how many Americans out of any hundred do you think would have given credence to the idea that a gulag was being run in their name?
And if we found ourselves a little red-faced internationally, well, that again is far outweighed by our facing up to what our country was doing. ¶ 4/22/2006 04:53:00 PM
