Yoo. Addington. Haynes. Cheney. Rumsfeld. Gonzalez.

Wrong on the law. Wrong on our values. Wrong for America.

Some Republicans like Mora (Frank Carlucci supported him for the GC-Navy job) and Jack Goldsmith (a conservative lawyer who ran OLC after Yoo was deputy there, now at Harvard Law School) get this. But from comments left at blogs and general insouciance on the issue I think we've lost a good swath of the party, call it the Hannity-Coulter wing, who are happy to give the 'ragheads' their due and joke on about panties like rank fools. We need to reclaim our party from these ignorant primitives, if at all possible, but the task will not be easy--as even opinion 'leaders' (what passes for them, these days) get all giggly about torture at places like NRO (there is also, of course, the fear resulting from 9/11, tinged with Islamophobia and suspicion of the 'other', that has amply facilitated the de-humanization of Middle Easterners and South Asians so as to facilitate the cheer-leading of their mistreatment).

1. The hatred shown to Islam by W's RW extremists is extreme

Every one of them but Rush has suddenly changed his story. I guess his biggest priority is avoiding drug charges.

W's pundits have hit us with Arabs are islamofascistspigs. They are ragheads and all should convert or die (Coulter)

Now, where the F are they coming from?
