once again, the conservative world-inversion assumes that its audience knows almost nothing about history and is therefore willing to buy into whatever self-serving line of shit they're fed.
this is damage control. the bush administration did not invent the use of proxies to "gather intelligence" using "aggressive techniques" that are entirely illegal---this has been happening for at least 60 years: it was a mainstay of the cold war period. it is part of how the american empire has operated.
ignorance--you just can't teach it. you either have it or you don't. it's an inner virtue.
