I think there could be some positive outcomes from this fiasco.
One, normal people who got sucked into the hopey changey media thing will realize it is not prudent to entrust the security of the country to inexperienced radical leftists like obama and Eric Holder.
Two, people may begin to realize why it is so important for the US to safeguard its sovereignty and stay out of international treaties, conventions,etc. Case in point, the International Criminal Court. If Bush had not put the kibosh on that, can anyone doubt that American officials, from ordinary CIA agents to soldiers to elected officials might be under charges now? Some will say, well if they did something wrong, they should be punished. That is an incredibly naive position that overlooks the relentless anti-americanism at play in these groups, their look the other way attitude where marxist tyrants are concerned and the fact that this is not some banana republic, at least not yet, that requires the supervision of european socialists. Our troops and our leaders answer to us, no one else.
Three, as people read exactly what kind of conduct was at issue, they will begin to question what all the hysteria is about. They threatened a few hardened terrorists? so what? In case anyone has forgotten, these are the people who cut off the heads of innocent captives on the internet. Do you really think they are going to just start blurting out valuable information? I expected to read that they had wired their gonads up to generators, cut off fingers, gouged out eyes, etc. Instead, they ran a power drill, told the guy who planned 9/11 they would kill his family if we got hit again, pushed a couple of them around, and poured some water down their throat. I've seen fraternity initiations that were tougher.
This country owes men like Dick cheney and the anonymous CIA and special forces operators who captured and interrogated these animals a huge debt of gratitude. It's time people made sure our traitors in congress and the administration knew it.
