I Can't Believe We are Doing This

Despite the fact that I have been blogging on this subject for months (most recently July 12, if you need a refresher) . . . I still can not believe that our country is about to host a witch hunt to punish the very individuals who sacrificed so much to keep us safe. The men and women who put it on the line for us, to fight people who live in the gutters of the World, on our behalf.

We are going to look back from a safe distance at the decision-making of policymakers during the duress of post-9/11 and at the actions of those who worked several layers down under the guidance of written legal opinions and executive orders. This is totally un-American.

I simply can not believe that it has come to this.

What a huge mistake we are making right now. Where are we going to be next time we need some tough action to save American lives? Who is going to stand up next time if this is how we treat our warriors?

What are we doing?
