It's OK to break the law if you're scared

(Or really, really scared, according to rightish critics of the recently-released Senate torture report.)

Charles Krauthammer: A travesty of a torture report - NY Daily News

"In the aftermath of 9/11, there was nothing irrational about believing a second attack was a serious possibility…"

(Krauthammer also cites "a deadly anthrax attack of unknown origin” as something we were scared of, although not so scared we bothered to figure out who did it.)

And then the ever-dependable Trickshot Dick chimes in.

Dick Cheney: Senate ‘torture’ report ‘full of crap’ - NY Daily News

"'The report's full of crap,’ he added, before later admitting that he hadn’t even read it .…
""What are we supposed to do, kiss him on both cheeks and say, 'Please, please, tell us what you know?' Of course not," Cheney said."

Oh that Dick. Always good for a laugh.
