He did, after all, oppose the impeachment of Bill Clinton and declare that the communist party was a "legitimate political organization," so it's not at all unreasonable to expect that garbage_truck also sides with the merchants of death....

Oh, I didn't know that Garbage_truck was a Clinton defender. I was aware of that in Wlat's case. Interesting.

Sin of omission bump.......seems that the Clinton defenders' sin was of a similar kind, if not the same order of gravity, as Pilate's washing of the hands. Claiming that the high crimes and misdemeanors were, in Arlen Specter's very learned usage, "not proven", is rather akin to washing one's hands in a case in which one is burdened with better knowledge.

Or, in Pilate's case, at least a warning from his wife.
