Editorial
A Senate Race in Connecticut

Published: July 30, 2006

"...At this moment, with a Republican president intent on drastically expanding his powers with the support of the Republican House and Senate, it is critical that the minority party serve as a responsible, but vigorous, watchdog. That does not require shrillness or absolutism. But this is no time for a man with Mr. Lieberman’s ability to command Republicans’ attention to become their enabler, and embrace a role as the president’s defender.

•

On the Armed Services Committee, Mr. Lieberman has left it to Republicans like Lindsey Graham of South Carolina to investigate the administration’s actions. In 2004, Mr. Lieberman praised Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for expressing regret about Abu Ghraib, then added: “I cannot help but say, however, that those who were responsible for killing 3,000 Americans on September 11th, 2001, never apologized.” To suggest even rhetorically that the American military could be held to the same standard of behavior as terrorists is outrageous, and a good example of how avidly the senator has adopted the Bush spin and helped the administration avoid accounting for Abu Ghraib.

Mr. Lieberman prides himself on being a legal thinker and a champion of civil liberties. But he appointed himself defender of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the administration’s policy of holding hundreds of foreign citizens in prison without any due process. He seconded Mr. Gonzales’s sneering reference to the “quaint” provisions of the Geneva Conventions. He has shown no interest in prodding his Republican friends into investigating how the administration misled the nation about Iraq’s weapons. There is no use having a senator famous for getting along with Republicans if he never challenges them on issues of profound importance.

If Mr. Lieberman had once stood up and taken the lead in saying that there were some places a president had no right to take his country even during a time of war, neither he nor this page would be where we are today. But by suggesting that there is no principled space for that kind of opposition, he has forfeited his role as a conscience of his party, and has forfeited our support."

1. They really hit the nail on the head. Lieberman has been an

enabler of heinous bush actions while jeering and sneering at Dems who criticized them.

2. Lieberman's sins and sellouts finally snared him

Its good riddance and hopefully it will teach a lesson to the rest of Bush's lackeys that have permitted the undermining of our basic beliefs.

3. "... it is critical that the minority party serve as a responsible,

but vigorous, watchdog."

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!! Hey, New York Times! It is critical that THE MEDIA also serve as a responsible but vigorous watchdog! You know, like have someone other than Judith Miller take stenography for the Bush administration! :banghead:

Okay, sorry. I had to let that out ...
