So, where are the bloviating Benghazi banshees now?

Exclusive: Six soldiers died on day two of the Iran war in a drone strike on Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. Dozens more were wounded, some seriously. It's one of the war's costliest attacks for U.S. personnel — and survivors fear no one will be held accountable. wapo.st/4wausdu

I totally agree. It’s one thing to criticize people when they are alive and able to defend themselves, but it’s gutless to slam people who are gone and unable to stand up for themselves. I make exceptions, however, for the worst of the worst, those like Hitler and Osama Bin Laden who are in an evil league of their own.

Senator Lindsey Graham and I met 42 years ago when we were both young officers in the Air Force JAG Corps.
In 2006, when I was Chief Prosecutor at Guantanamo, I worked with him and Senator John McCain on legislation for the GTMO military commissions. He and Senator McCain were the only Republicans who pushed back against the Bush administration over GTMO, the use of torture on detainees, and fair rules for the prosecution of suspected Al Qaeda terrorists.
After I retired from the Air Force, I went to work for Congress as Senior Specialist in National Security and head of the Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division at the Congressional Research Service. In 2009, when I got fired by the Librarian of Congress for writing an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal critical of Obama for failing to close Guantanamo as he had promised, my Democratic Congressman from Northern Virginia refused to lift a finger to help. The one member of Congress who did step up on my behalf was Senator Graham (see letter below). I wasn't one of his constituents, I wasn't a donor, I wasn't even a member of his party. He did it because he believed it was the right thing to do.
In the years after, I used to run into Senator Graham from time to time in the Green Room at Fox News in DC when he and I were both waiting to do interviews. We'd talk about our Air Force days and we'd joke about our home states (North Carolina and South Carolina have always been rivals), and he was the same Lindsey Graham I had first met back in 1984.
I left the DC area for Asheville in 2019, and I never saw or heard from Senator Graham again.
I can't begin to explain what happened to him after Trump got elected and he became one of Trump's biggest supporters . . . I'll never understand it. I won't forgive or forget the latter years of his life, but I choose to dwell on the man I knew pre-Trump; the Lindsey Graham who was a good attorney and Air Force officer, a good senator who fought against torture and for the rule of law, and a good friend who stood up for me when others treated me like a leper.
I'd like to think that John McCain has already smacked him upside the head and chewed his ass for his Trump fealty . . . and then given him a hug and welcomed him home.
Rest in peace.

Quite often I’ll post excerpts from op-eds that I find to be particularly interesting. I was going to do that with this op-ed by @DavidAFrench, but every paragraph, not just one or two, hits the nail on the head, so I’m using one of my free gift article opportunities to share the entire thing.
I’ve often thought exactly what he expresses: how absurd is it, whether in religion or politics, to believe that you’re totally right and anyone who has a different opinion is totally wrong.
In any event, kudos to David French for a well-reasoned and well-written piece!

@ColMoeDavis @FIFAcom Sorry to say France deserved it! Their group was a hard one! Did you see the match against Paraguay? So unfair... And the one against Morocco with 5 Argentinian referees? Mbappe's penalty was too long to validate. It took more than 3 minutes. That's why he missed that shot... 😑

.@FIFAcom has worked hard to curate the final 4 it set out to achieve. What a load of shit.

If there was any doubt heading into the World Cup about whether @FIFAcom was corrupt as shit, tonight answered any questions.

@ReichlinMelnick To be fair, I remember when they had Phil from Duck Dynasty on to discuss Middle East policy.

Why is Riley Gaines being invited onto the news to discuss ICE? What qualifications does she possibly have?
Acyn@Acyn
Gaines: It’s pretty easy to not get shot by an ICE officer… if you are still in this country illegally, be prepared to be forcefully removed.
