A former Justice Department Official, John Yoo, speaks out against recent stupidity by Inspectors Generals over intelligence gathering: Why We Endorsed Warrantless Wiretaps,
Clearly, the five inspectors general were responding to the media-stoked politics of recrimination, not consulting the long history of American presidents who have lived up to their duty in times of crisis.
Thinking by the inspectors general is exactly the reason we cannot go back to the moon and why we are just pondering a trip to mars. It pervade every aspect of our government - NASA in particular regarding space - the universities and a great deal of society. Rather than having the can do - just do it - attitude that put us in space, that allowed us to win WWII, we have become mired in the defeatist mentality of the 1960s and promulgated by the press. We have become a risk adverse society and a society too trusting and has forgotten that evil does exist. The relativism that pervades all aspects of our government and State Run press (and liberals) prevents us from being great. To the relativist there is no such thing as good and evil just shades of gray and thus al Qaeda isn't an evil to be fought and defeated it is a lost child that needs to be understood. The Obama is a product of this liberal defeatist mentality and his foreign police and these witch hunts are outcomes of that way of not-thinking.
