This video (featuring the 10th Congressional District’s own Rep. William Delahunt questioning Vice President Cheney’s chief of staff David Addington) is appalling. If you haven’t seen it yet, it is very telling about the Democrats’ general view on fighting terrorism:
You got that? Addington said he couldn’t discuss what kinds of techniques are being used to interrogate captured terrorists because to do so publicly would give al Qaeda inside knowledge. This point is not contested by Delahunt, but he seems pleased by the idea.
Boston Maggie, one of Delahunt’s constituents, is calling for his censure, and also has other updates to this story.

Thanks for the linky-love baby!
Now who are we drafting to run against him?
What can you say about this character among so many characters in the Democrat party.
Since George McGovern, this party has hit what I thought would be its lowest point, years ago.
It has gone infinitely lower, over and over.
Ed Koch call himself “A liberal with sanity” and he is. He also has integrity. I don’t think I can name 5 other Democrats in congress, who have an ounce of integrity. Evan Bayh seems to, but I really can’t think of anyone else now that Joe Lieberman is an Independent and Zell Miller retired in disgust at his own party.
