Heard a brief commentary this morning that said that the situation was never quite right for implementation, which could mean a variety of things.

You know, I have to pinch myself back to reality sometimes. I think in the aftermath of 9/11, if the President had told the nation that we were going to seek out the prepatrators, torture them and assassinate them, the country would have applauded. I'm sure a wide variety of stuff was discussed, probably some of it pretty wild. Some of it was probably dropped or shelved as information became available. We have mostly forgotten how members of the Arab community danced in the streets that we had been attacked.

It's now been almost 8 years. It's easy to forget how everyone felt back then. It's easy to take an objective view now and say "isn't it awful". If we villianize the CIA now, and prosecute Cheney and whoever else, in the future, our agencies will be too afraid to do what needs to be done. When I feel that I don't like torture, I remind myself that I don't much like seeing American citizens beheaded either. But, there it is.
