Can someone tell me why leading Democrats are not clamoring to be heard?
- The President has nominated his loyal house lawyer as Attorney General: a lawyer who among other things asserted that the President's war powers included the ability to authorize torture and trumped all other legal authority; an interpretation which led directly or indirectly to the American torture of POWs and innocents in Saddam's own torture chambers.
- The President is nominating as Secretary of State someone who may be the least effective national security advisor in history and who also appears to have lied under oath within the last year.
- The President's appointee to the CIA appears to be engaged in a mismanagement fiasco and/or a partisan purge of the agency.
Where are the Democratic voices? Where is Kerry? Where are the leaders in Congress, the ranking minority members of the relevant committees and the party's foreign policy establishment?
Is it any wonder that some Americans believe that Democrats don't care about national security?
