Juan Cole on David Addington

i've noticed that professor cole is becoming much less reticent to mince words...

David Addington, Cheney's legal capo, can't say whether he authorized waterboarding because he is afraid that al-Qaeda might be watching C-Span.

Al-Qaeda is this crew's excuse for everything that they always wanted to do before there was any al-Qaeda.

speaking for myself, i no longer see al-qaeda as an "excuse"... i see it as a deliberate bush administration creation there for the sole purpose of justifying endless war...

Labels: Al Qaeda, Bush Administration, C-Span, David Addington, Dick Cheney, endless war, Juan Cole, waterboarding
