Greenwald also writes:
“Among the many perversely entertaining claims he makes, marvel at this assertion about Bush’s interrogation and detention policies: “American laws were not broken. . . . Nothing even slightly unseemly has been uncovered.” Pardon me, but I have to repeat that: nothing even slightly unseemly has been uncovered. It seems that Chairman Reyes sees things generally the same way. Hence: “continuity” is what we need.
That sentence, in its entirety, read this way: “Nothing even slightly unseemly has been uncovered — indeed, Brennan has a proven history of complete candor in discussing his views on those subjects with the media.”
It is quite clear that I was talking about Brennan and desperate failed attempts by Greenwald and Sullivan to find any kind of impropriety or illegality in his background. Not whether or not the EI&R practices themselves were ‘unseemly’.
Reflexive straw-men responses, taking partial sentences and placing them into different contexts… is this really the man whose opinion counts with President Elect Obama?
