Steve Benen, neolib Obama torture cover-up apologist

I thought Washington Monthly was bad enough as a blog with Kevin Drum as a neoliberal squish.

Well, I was wrong; it’s become worse with Steve Benen as a Democratic Party hack. I’ve pretty much stopped reading, but went by there earlier today.

Proof of Benen’s hackery? This post claiming Obama hasn’t shut the door on indicting BushCo officials for torture. Even by Benen’s standards, it’s week.


Meanwhile, Sully joined him in the tank.

Andrew Sullivan agrees that President Barack Obama is right to not prosecute torturers. For a while, on a few issues, Sully could be seen as the “enemy of my enemy” type. But, remember, folks, he’s NOT a Democrat, let alone not being an independent liberal.

And, this is AFTER Sully’s earlier post, saying, “We are now Indonesia.”

Hey, Sully. Not prosecuting will lead to “Indonesia amnesia.”
