A Fantasy

If the members of the national press corp were not so busy acting as lap dogs for the administration, someone would pose the following question to the president at his next press conference:

Sir, during the campaign you characterized the administration's military commission system as a "legal black hole" and "dangerously flawed legal approach," which "undermines the very values we are fighting to defend." You similarly excoriated administration policies concerning indefinite detention of suspected terrorists and the release of photographs showing alleged prisoner abuse.

My question, sir, is this. Have you called President Bush and apologized to him? And if not, why not?

Ah, the fantasies we have!
