Give Them Time To Coalesce Around Talking Points

by John Cole

Sullivan yesterday noted an odd silence over the torture memos, and I predict that will end now that the new talking points have been released in the WSJ op-ed pages. For fun, look for instances of the phrase “tied his own hands” in the right-wing blogosphere when they discuss the subject.

*** Update ***

The Bushbots are out in force. Frances Townsend on CNN says releasing these memos “handcuffs” us. It seems Bush Republicans measure the security of this nation using an odd metric. Apparently the safety of this country can be determined by gauging how sadistically we brutalize prisoners in our care.

Sick bastards.

1. Note to the Media reaction: Roberts was coddling and coaxing France Townsend

NO OTHER EXPERTS OR OPINIONS WERE SOUGHT from the CNN Morning crew.

So much for that "America the beautiful" the past 8 years.
