I've not had much of a chance to discuss this, of late. However, I have found it more than just a little coincidental that all of this has surfaced so soon after the media itching for W to admit mistakes and issue apologies.
Admitting mistakes and issuing apologies fits all of their agendas. They'd have soundbytes for campaign ads and reparations for "torture victums". Not to mention the fact that the President got us out of that miserable international court, and they'd love to shame us to sign onto it, again. They'll be trying to tie the hands of our intelligence agencies before this is over.
Notice how the left has made a point of always insisting on apologies for slavery, etc.? I'd bet there's some treaty somewhere, that would give them some legal standing internationally anytime that's done. Even without the International court treaty. Very suspicious.
