In light of Obama's press conference today and the reactions from the commentariat afterwards: Where was the baying for accountability from the punditocracy when torture at Abu Ghraib was revealed? When the existence of secret prisons in Europe was revealed? For that matter, in August of 2001 when Bush told a CIA briefer he'd "covered his ass" once he'd told Bush about the August 6, 2001 memo titled "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike in US?"
Where were the cries of "someone needs to be fired!" from Chris Matthews, Brit Hume, Andrew Sullivan, Pat Buchanan and a host of others back then?
Just wondering.
