Bill Kristol Gets off a Few Parting Shots

Unpardonable Reservists Lynndie and Charles

Bill Kristol Meth is up on his hind legs again this time yapping that W. needs to pardon some torturers and illegal wiretappers, then, for good measure, pin a couple Medals of Freedom on Petraeus and Odierno. Maybe that dolittle lard ass George Tenet will give his back and they can hang it around Lynndie England's baby carriage for her too. Here's Kristol Meth himself :

The CIA agents who waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and the NSA officials who listened in on phone calls from Pakistan, should not have to worry about legal bills or public defamation. In fact, Bush might want to give some of these public servants the Medal of Freedom at the same time he bestows the honor on Generals Petraeus and Odierno. They deserve it.

Yeah, they deserve it. Odierno is the heralded hero of The Surge, the one that worked in part because Al Sadr called a cease fire and tribal leaders in the north declared their own war on foreign insurgents freeing our guys from the job. Petraeus, the guy who's famous for moving back the goalposts every time Bush asked him for another status report.

While Kristol is busy trying to run interference for CIA and other torturers, it's sadly predictable who wasn't pardoned for their part in the Abu Gharaib debacle. All low ranking reservists like preggo Lynndie and her baby daddy Charles Graner. Here's the rogue's gallery of convictees. One Corporal, Two Sargeants and 5 Specialists. Would anyone of these ranks be authorized to order the kind of tomfoolery, cruelty and humiliation rampant at A.G. prison ? My eight ball says : Signs point to NO ! Was anyone with any rank of consequence dealt with as harshly as these poor slobs ? Rhetorical question. Yet here in the waning hours of the eight year war on the middle class we have the number one Neo-Con cheerleader standing up for -- who else ? -- people of rank and influence.
