"But such debate is, in my view, beside the point. We do not have the luxury, post-911 to indulge our precious conceits. We must focus on our survival, literally."

Guess mentioning that such pleas of necessity were EXACTLY what NOW and many of the other leftist groups used when Bubba's sexual assualts popped up will do you no good huh? Covering for your candidate's sexual transgressions is wrong no matter what the circumstance. At the very least its intellectually dishonest not to admit to the analogy.

I am not "covering" anything. The rules in fact changed on 9/11. Survival trumps everything.
