to comment on my own post, my favorite part was congressman rohrabacher keepin’ it real:
this was a mistake, and we should admit our mistakes, and it should be open to the american people, but to bring a prosecutor or something like that in, with the idea that this might represent a criminal intent is absolutely the wrong way to go.
an allegedly innocent man was sent to syria where he was allegedly tortured. “whoopsie! that was a mistake.”
criminal intent or no, can we really take a mulligan on something like that?
