While We Are at It

The Obama administration mantra has been “we don’t want to create more terrorists.”

This is true only to the point at which the Democrats must be forced to decide to maintain that position, or take a convenient parthian shot at the Republicans and the former Republican president, George W. Bush.  It is then that party politics trumps creating more terrorists.  Release the enhanced interrogation report.

Like the Parthians, Feinstein, Holder, and Obama ride backwards on their horses and fire arrows at the incoming dominant congressional party. 

But the departure from “don’t make more terrorists” by stirring the interrogation issue leads one to remember some other acts that have been placed in limbo because we don’t want to stir the terrorist pot.  If we are going to dispense with the cautionary axiom of not angering terrorists, let us “clean the slate” now.

Two other chapters of the terrorism book should be closed, for Nidal Hasan and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed are due to have a break from their contained but comfortable existences with a severe dose of justice.

What does it matter if we bundle the three interrogations conducted in a helter-skelter post-9/11 atmosphere with a concurrent disposal and just termination of two mass murderers?  If we are going to “create more terrorists” with party politics, could we not also mete out some just rewards?
