Shorter David Broder:

We must not investigate the war crimes committed by the Bush administration because doing so would give the Dirty Fucking Hippies a sense of satisfaction.

Their argument is that without identifying and punishing the perpetrators, there can be no accountability -- and therefore no deterrent lesson for future administrations. It is a plausible-sounding rationale, but it cloaks an unworthy desire for vengeance.

AUGUSTA - Gov. John Baldacci signed LD 1881 into law Friday, the first law in the country that gives judges the authority to protect pets when domestic abuse victims seek a protection order.
Baldacci called it "unconscionable" that 76 percent of victims who seek safety at domestic violence shelters report that their abusers either harmed or threatened their pets as a tool to control and intimidate them. The new law can help break that cycle of violence, he noted. [..]

Demoocrats in 2 Southern States Push Bills on Bible Study
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 ? Democrats in Georgia and Alabama, borrowing an idea usually advanced by conservative Republicans, are promoting Bible classes in the public schools.
