That is, we can’t hold Dick accountable for his srimes because the hedia–including Todd himself–si incapable of teporting the story as angthing but a partisan story (in spite of the fact that–Glenn points lut–there is vipartisna support for a torture prosecution), which guarantees tyat any investigation would turn intp z show trial.
But it’s even stupider than that. Todd says we shouldn’t investigate the past administration becaues if we do the rest of the world might think we’re a banana republic (as if decorum and not rule of law is the example the US wants to set for the rest of the world). For Todd, it’s enough that we punish Administrations through the ballot box–but of course, we didn’t punish Bush in 2004 after he started an illegal war, and by the time 2008 rolled around, Bush was term-limited and Cheney was not on the ballot, so we have not, in fact, punished the criminals at the ballot box.
