The one thing, the main thing, the central point, that Nat Hentoff is obviously too obtuse to get, is that Barack Obama doing all things that George Bush and Dick Cheney deserve to be in prison for doing is a good thing, because he's a "Democrat".
If he was a Republican, it would be a bad thing.
Not one of the aspiring Republican candidates for the presidency next year has said a word about this. And Obama cherishes their silence.
-- Obama bans war criminals, except our own, Nat Hentoff
I'm sure it's bipartisan cherishing, btw...
