From Former Blogger Patrick comes this fun quote from Andrew Sullivan in discussing treatment of captured terrorists and enemy combatants:
Except for rogue states that refuse to abide by even minimal standards of decent treatment. I.e. Bush’s America.
I love it: Bush’s America now constitutes a rogue state.
I have disagreed with our leadership’s current policies (and even had myself labeled a racist for the effort), but for a liberal, representative democracy that has regular power shifts directed by its citizens labeled a “rogue state” just seems kind of goofy. Sullivan is engaging in the kind of over-the-top rhetoric that made Daily Kos such a big site.
