There Goes Our Moral Authority

If the United States ever had the authority to judge the quality of human action and character arising from an innate sense of right and wrong, it has all but disappeared thanks to who "we the people" decided should lead "us"...lead us astray, that is.

CIA renditions, torture memos, Abu Ghraib, water boarding, "Black sites", "enhanced interrogation techniques", military commissions, indefinite detentions, 600,000 dead Iraqis, over 4,000 dead American soldiers (including contractors), countless life-changing injuries to Americans and Iraqis, millions of Americans without health insurance, tax-cuts for the rich etc. pretty much says it all.
