Obama's Rendition Decision and the Pro-Torture Left
Wizbang — ... or its own secret sites. Let me know if any of Obama's supporters start complaining that he is even more evil and blood thirsty than George Bush. If they don't, this exposes their hypocrisy and partisanship and also shows them to be stinking liars that hated George Bush primarily because he had an "R" after his name. Most of us already knew that, but it is nice to have independent incontrovertible evidence to cite. Ace wants to know when we will see the movie Rendition II . Moe Lane names a few of the pro-torture Left.

Rendition and The Doug Feith conference call.

‘Dijongate.’ [Rolling eyes] Try ‘Own-goal-gate,’ at this point.
RedState: Conservative News and Community — ... …not because I disagree, but because I thought that it was obvious already. Then again, I got to watch in some vicious bemusement as a great number of people reacted badly to my rather straightforward observation that by supporting Obama in the wake of his embrace of rendition they were now pro-torture by their own, loudly proclaimed, quote-unquote ‘moral code’: the fact that the Other Side has some of the most insecure partisans in Western civilization is hardly a surprise. Nor is it that the Online Left absolutely hates the fact that, despite it ...

PELOSI LIED, THE WATERBOARDING ISSUE DIED: CIA Says Pelosi Was Briefed on Use of ‘Enhanced Interrog…
Instapundit — ... Well, possibly. But at any rate, the torture issue was mostly a political tool designed to cow right-leaning members of the punditocracy by calling them Nazis. Now that it’s not needed so much, it can be allowed to die. Those pushing it are much quieter about the Obama Administration’s positions. ...
