Here’s A Shock – Specter is Once Again Spectering

From The Gray Lady:

In an interview, Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, said that in light of the administration’s apparent retreat from its legal embrace of the harshest tactics in 2004, the 2005 opinions “are more than surprising.”

“I think they’re shocking,” Mr. Specter said.

He added members of Congress voted to ban “cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment” in December 2005 without knowing that the Justice Department had already decided that the C.I.A.’s methods did not violate that standard. “I think the administration had a duty to inform Congress about these opinions,” Mr. Specter said.

Arlen, you can gnash your teeth and act teh shocked!!!11 all you like. Hell, why not break out John Warner’s heavy artillery and furrow your brow – that’ll sure put the fear of God in ‘em.  If you really gave two shits about the criminal negligence of the Bush Administration, you wouldn’t have so dutifully played the role of its chief congressional enabler all these years.

Seriously, STFU with the stale ‘concerned moderate’ act, you two-faced piss-bag.
