I don't like Specter but UPI took his comments out of context and left out some important info like the President had the authority as President to do this.
They took him totally out of context.
All the folks crucifying the man need to read the transcript. What UPI printed just ain't what he said. They're lying, and people are believing the lie based on their own personal feelings about Specter (which I usually share... but fair is fair, here).
