5. It goes to show... "Looking forward" in this case can be little more than
enabling the criminal enterprise that is the Republican Party and PNAC to continue, since as we've seen in the past, every time they're whooped and nothing is done to tear down their empire, they come back to haunt us a decade or two later. Americans forget how bad they are, which is why they keep electing the fucktards. Just look at Shrub and Darth Cheney's approval rating. Given the media's control over the dialogue for most of the people in this country, it makes such a thing inevitable. Our only way to escape the cycle of batshit crazy was to prosecute the fuckers for what they did.

At best, it's criminally stupid (he's a genius, right?) At worst, it's complicity at a very basic level. It damages our reputation as a nation of laws to a greater extent than had already been accomplished. And what do we gain? Wasn't one of the arguments that they couldn't afford to do so for fear of jeopardizing potential progressive programs allegedly in the works. What, like real health care reform? Like substantial credit card reform?

Critical Fail.
