Your one stop pundit shop.
Eugene Robinson talks about "the consequences of our good ideas."
Richard Cohen is a dumbass:
Attorney General Eric Holder has named a special prosecutor to see whether any of the CIA's interrogators broke the law. Special prosecutors are often themselves like interrogators -- they don't know when to stop. They go on and on because, well, they can go on and on. One of them managed to put Judith Miller of The New York Times in jail -- a wee bit of torture right there. No CIA interrogator can feel safe. The interrogators are about to be interrogated.
No one can possibly believe that America is now safer because of the new restrictions on enhanced interrogation and the subsequent appointment of a special prosecutor. The captured terrorist of my fertile imagination, assuming he had access to an Internet cafe, knows about the special prosecutor. He knows his interrogator is under scrutiny. What person under those circumstances is going to spill his beans?
Norman Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute is all about the bipartisanship when it comes the health care reform.
Bob Herbert on the death penalty.
Derrick Z. Jackson says that:
The more Dick Cheney defends torture, the more we Americans must end our tortured ambivalence. Either we are above using the same interrogation practices that police states use, or we are are not.
David Brooks thinks that President Obama is just too darn liberal and that he needs to "align his proposals to the values of the political center," which apparently means caving in to Republicans.
John Bolton wants to bomb Iran so bad, he can't stand it.
Cal Thomas on writing about the death of Ted Kennedy:
Twila Paris wrote a song that might speak even to hard hearts when they think of the One who forgave their own sins and who was never accused of going wobbly: "How beautiful the tender eyes that choose to forgive and never despise."
I strongly opposed much of what Mr. Kennedy proposed, but I cared for him as a person. Those without sin, send your condemnation stones to this newspaper.
