Andrew Sullivan on Bush and Torture Tape

Andrew Sullivan is now claiming the infamous CIA torture tape indicates war crimes by President Bush. Pretty heady stuff from Sullivan who spent many years defending Bush and the invasion of Iraq. When the war started becoming more and more unpopular, Sullivan began changing his stripes and pretended to have been against the war all along. Sorry, Andy, but many of us still remember and we don't forget the enablers of the Worst President in U.S. History.

Any reasonable person examining all the evidence we have - without any bias - would conclude that the overwhelming likelihood is that the president of the United States authorised illegal torture of a prisoner and that the evidence of the crime was subsequently illegally destroyed.

Congresswoman Jane Harman, the respected top Democrat on the House intelligence committee in 2003-06, put it as simply as she could: “I am worried. It smells like the cover-up of the cover-up.”

It’s a potential Watergate. But this time the crime is not a two-bit domestic burglary. It’s a war crime that reaches into the very heart of the Oval Office.

Yes, it is Hollywood time. And the ending of this movie is as yet unwritten.
