Let Go, Peggy, Let Go
Peggy "Morning in America" Noonan has finally had it Bush.
Over torture, the war, gross undermining of the constitution, law breaking? Nope. Immigration. Oh, who cares?
BUT get this revealing quote:
The beginning of my own sense of separation from the Bush administration came in January 2005, when the president declared that it is now the policy of the United States to eradicate tyranny in the world, and that the survival of American liberty is dependent on the liberty of every other nation. This was at once so utopian and so aggressive that it shocked me. For others the beginning of distance might have been Katrina and the incompetence it revealed, or the depth of the mishandling and misjudgments of Iraq.
Notice what's missing? Torture. Even as they flee the sinking ship, ideological conservatives are choosing the baggage to salvage, and among the refuse dragged to shore, keep watching, will be "enhanced interrogation techniques."
