Politics Sullivan on Torture

Posted by Dan Savage on Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 9:59 AM

If you give a shit about just how the United States became a torture state—and what should be done about it—you need to be reading Andrew Sullivan's blog. He's relentlessly tracking this story. He's also naming and shaming the torture enablers, apologists, and hypocrites on the right. Peggy Noonan, Michele Malkin, and all the bully boys at the National Review all might prefer a good waterboarding session—maybe 183 of them—over what Sullivan is doing to them. Read him.

But one of the best commentaries—short and bitter—comes from a reader at TPM:

Last week, conservatives were complaining Obama was establishing a socialistic fascist dictatorship. This week, conservatives are complaining Obama does not want to torture his opponents.
