Like most things in politics, there are at least two interesting things going on right now that expose the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the American Left.
The first thing is U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy Jr. is pushing for a hearing on whether or not the destruction of CIA tapes of torture against Al Qaeda operatives in 2005 was legal. The CIA and the NSA both maintain that the judge has no authority in the matter. Never the less, Kennedy has scheduled an inquiry anyway.
Of course this is a staple of left wing blogs and activists with their sites bubbling with activity about how our government needs to be open to the people and how citizens have a “right to know” about what our government is doing.
Right or wrong our government has been doing this type of thing for years and the libs never cared. Their outrage is truly selective in this arena. They hate Bush and they think they have an issue that they can take him out on.
Don’t believe me? Check out issue number two: At least 2600 pages of material are *still* being held by the Clinton administration despite several Freedom of Information inquiries. And all the left is doing with this story is either ignoring it or defending it.
Naturally Bill denies having anything to do with the hold up even though the hang up can be traced right back to him. And Hillary also claims she can’t do anything about it. Funny to think that she is promising to do all these grandiose things even as she admits that she can’t even get simple things moved.
But the interesting thing about the Clinton case is how much it parallels the CIA case. Some of these records come from 1994 the time when the Clintons were trying to force their brand of socialized medicine on us. At the time a citizens group sued under sunshine laws to be allowed to sit in on the meetings. The White House refused. A federal judge sided with the group. No sooner than the ruling been handed down than the White House claimed that they had disbanded the task force AND DESTROYED THE RECORDS OF THE PROCEEDINGS.
So there you have it: In liberal land destroying things in the interest of national security is wrong. Destroying things to keep big libs in office is okay. What the CIA is doing to protect our country and ferret out our enemies is worthy of the front page of the New York Times. What the Clintons are hiding about what they did when they were in office is none of our business. The CIA are a bunch of monsters for trying to figure out what hostile foreigners are trying to do kill us should be condemned. The Clintons are innocent of any wrong doing and their lies, distortions and cover ups prove that they’re worthy of another four years in office.
How bizarre is that?
