Pelosi wanted the CIA to inject the Gitmo Guys with Botulism, but they refused. They didn’t want to cause permanent damage like facial paralysis.

A good question from the press would be: When did it dawn on you that you could use waterboarding as a political issue with which to bludgeon the Bush Administration? When they got the talking-points fax from the DNC.

Senator Feinstein says airily that no reasonable person would hold dear Nancy to account for what she supported all those years ago. But it's OK to hold Cheney or some no-name Justice Department backroom boy to account? Steyn pours the water on the RAT noses--and they choke.

He is up there, but I think Victor Davis Hanson and Thomas Sowell give him a run for his money. Steyn does have an acerbic witty nature to his writings that always leave me smiling.

My favorite.
In effect, the senator is saying waterboarding was acceptable in 2002, but not by 2009. The waterboarding didn't change, but the country did. It was no longer America's war but Bush's war. And it was no longer a bipartisan interrogation technique that enjoyed the explicit approval of both parties' leaderships, but a grubby Bush-Cheney-Rummy war crime.

But it's OK to hold Cheney or some no-name Justice Department backroom boy to account? Well, sure. It's the Miss USA standard of political integrity: Carrie Prejean and Barack Obama have the same publicly stated views on gay marriage. But the politically correct enforcers know that Barack doesn't mean it, so that's okay, whereas Carrie does, so that's a hate crime. In the torture debate, Pelosi is Obama and Dick Cheney is Carrie Prejean. Dick means it, because to him this is an issue of national security. Nancy doesn't, because to her it's about the shifting breezes of political viability.
Excellent observation by Steyn.

Agreed! VDH is a better writer than Steyn, in my opinion. Christopher Hitches is as well, although I don’t agree with most of what he says.

It is torture every time she speaks, and double torture if you have to view the person.
