Those Unpragmatic Lithuanians
So I realize I'm turning into Paul Phillips when my blog just becomes, "hey, check out this great Glenn Greenwald piece," but I still look better in shorts at least. Check out this great Glenn Greenwald piece:
Rule-of-law extremism engulfs primitive Eastern Europe
I fancy myself a pragmatist, but I always thought there was something icky with the notion of "moving forward," but couldn't exactly put my finger on it until I read this sentence:
Unlike those unhinged primitive nations with no democratic traditions, we understand that
government crimes should be disclosed, investigated and punished only when they occur
during a time other than the Past.
And from a different piece (on trying "suspected terrorists"), I noticed recently that The Wall Street Journal and Glenn Greenwald are on the same page with regards to the DoJ's disfiguring contortions about when the rule of law applies. That's gotta be a sign it's time to move to Canada. Or Lithuania.
