Why I Could Have Voted for Lieberman

The honorable gentleman from Connecticut deserves the appelation:

“The behavior by Americans at the prison in Iraq is, as we all acknowledge, immoral, intolerable and un-American … I cannot help but say, however, that those responsible for killing 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11, 2001, never apologized. Those who have killed hundreds of Americans in uniform in Iraq, working to liberate Iraq and protect our security, have never apologized. And those who murdered and burned and humiliated four Americans in Fallujah a while ago never (apologized)….

There is a refreshing moral clarity demonstrated in that statement. It is NOT a cynical use of the tu quoque “defense”, because Lieberman isn’t interesting in defending such contemptible behavior. It is, simply, telling truth to infamy.
