Holding officials responsible for their actions isn't hate, it's law-and-order conservatism. And it isn't just the left that wants those officials held responsible: According to a February USA Today/Gallup poll, large majorities of Americans want warrantless wiretapping and torture investigated.

As for Democrats being implicated, if in fact they are, I say prosecute them, too.

I just threw up a little.

“I’d love to co-sponsor every piece of legislation with Ted Kennedy,” said Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.). “When Ted says he’s going to do something, he’s committed to it.”

I do not wonder now why on the left there is so much hate. But I sense the witch hunt about the supposed torture legal opinions and actual interrogations will result in the prosecution of Barney Frank and many other Democrats should the Republicans gain power in 2010 or 2012.
