    As a columnist for the Philly Inquirer, of course.

  2. Might be a bit of a stretch to label him a war criminal, suspected or no.

    What would you call someone who, in order to provide legal cover to his suspected war criminal bosses, created and authorized a regime of torture?

    Anyway, so this guy got a columnist gig at a major city newspaper. Everyone cool with that?

    John Yoo, Bloody Bill Kristol, Chuckles Krauthammer, etc....seriously, stop giving these people jobs. For the good of this nation's moral standing, these people should be arguing their fascist bullshit down at the local bus stop, not in our newspapers.
     
  8. Jesus Tebow, what is wrong with Tierney?
    This is the contrarian, please-react-strongly-to-us-one-way-or-the-other, We're Scared Of The New Media!, philosophy run completely amuck. This guy is in a very real sense a war criminal, and he's now engaged in an ongoing effort to cover that up and save his own ass, and he gets an op-ed gig. I hope the son of a bitch gets to file a column on his own disbarment.

    When does Roger Clemens get a syndicated column that argues for the moral superiority of the current crop of MLB players? Same fracking thing.
