National: Joe Scarborough

The theme gets wider and deeper by the day. Cheney, Bush, Duncan Hunter, Karl Rove, Bill O'Reilly, William McGurn and a multitude of others all say torture works. They hint, or say directly, that Barack Obama would be foolish to give it up. They declare this would put America at risk of another 9/11. They say arguments to the contrary are "leftwing rubbish." Message: Not only should those who ordered and implemented torture not be prosecuted, they also deserve medals. Anybody who would deny U.S. intelligence agencies the torture tool undermines America and enables the mass murder of Americans.

Joe Scarborough has joined the growing throng.
