The only bad thing about deals with the devil is that Old Scratch always comes to collect.
It seems like just yesterday-- and it almost was-- that the Republipundits were twisting around each other until they looked like their own naked and overexposed version of the sick pictures out of Abu Ghraib. But it was reality, morality and common decency that they were twisting as they tried to explain away torture. They tried to tell us those horrors were not so bad, some on the pages of your Amarillo Globe-News.
When they justified these atrocities, the Republipundits crossed a line they shouldn't have crossed. They didn't all cross it. But those who did made their own pact with the devil.
The hawks who defended the war crimes at Abu Ghraib are in it for the duration. They now find themselves in the unenviable position of defending atrocities growing ever more atrocious. When will the Globe-News run an editorial defending Wednesday's Wedding Party Massacre? I give them till Saturday.
