According to our new (if all goes as planned) CIA Director and former White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta:
“We either believe in the dignity of the individual, the rule of law, and the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment, or we don’t. There is no middle ground.”
Maybe it’s just me but it almost feels like the last 8 years were just one long blurry night of binge drinking. The country did things that it would have never done when it was sober – Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, Warrantless Wiretapping, Preemptive Invasions, the list goes on and on.
Seeing this quote from the new head of the CIA though makes me think we are finally starting to come out of it. We’re bleary eyed with a hell of a hangover, but at least we’re alive.
