This, from the same man who once enlightened America about the malleability of words like "is", and did so in defense of a client whose weakening of our intelligence capabilities led directly to the events of 9/11.

I can certainly understand why Democrats would wish to avoid any discussion of their culpability for the atrocities committed against Americans. So, they blame those who first warned us of the threat and who then endeavored to avoid further such horrors by extracting intelligence from the terrorists who might commit them.

For Democrat operatives like Lanny Davis, no sphere of human life is uncolored by politics and so every motivation of their adversaries is instantly suspect. Moreover, many Democrats are no longer satisfied to merely dismiss or ridicule; policy differences must now be criminalized whenever possible. In this way, the rule of law is subordinated to the rule of lawyers, in pursuit not of justice but of partisan advantage.

The minute they indict Cheney is the minute all conservatives and Republicans are in mortal danger.

I'll take it as the modern-day equivalent of the firing on Fort Sumter.
