Defending Jane Mayer

[image error]

Torture fan Marc Thiessen
continues his war on American values in a response to Jane
Mayer's recent takedown of him in the New
Yorker.

His exhibit A: Hey, the former director of the CIA agrees
with me! A lot of his other stuff is similar evidence of a "dog bites man"
nature. 

He concludes that Mayer has made a career of spinning the
torture narrative. Actually, Marc, she had a career long before that. She just
happened to be appalled by you and your panicky pals and rightly focused on the
damage you all have done to the country. I believe that more has been done than
is publicly known.

I really do
believe in civility and tolerance. But people who undermine our country, its
values, and its standing in the world are close to the edge for me.

There's more
here, but I feel like I have to go take a shower. (HT on this link to Mr. Andrew
Sullivan)
