Defending the indefensible; the truth about a dirty lacuna
Nope, this isn't a story about the Alamo.
The Secretary of State of the United States appeared before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to discuss reigning in Blackwater this week. Five years into the occupation of Iraq, the Secretary of State has suddenly been made privy to a lacuna in our legislation that literally sets Blackwater above the law, regardless of the behavior of its representatives in Iraq.
Despite the seriousness of the subject, I was laughing hysterically at Rachel Maddow's take on the Secretary of State's dirty lacuna. If you've never tuned into the Rachel Maddow Show, do yourself a favor and stream the first seven minutes of the show from October 25, 2007. Yesterday's show is only going to be available for free for the rest of the day, but it is hilarious.
