TPM Reader ML is confused by the president ...

I am a bit confused, too. I thought the administration and its lackeys claimed it was treasonous to publicly discuss these secret prisons. I thought that the administration and its lackeys were pushing for journalists to be prosecuted for reporting about their existence. I thought that we were disloyal Americans for talking about such secret prisons. Are the administration's past statements no longer operable now that there is an election two months away?

ML is a tad snarky about it. But, really, it's the ugly truth. So much weight was put on the claim that these men were so dangerous they needed to be hidden in darkness. Long war. Long twilight struggle.

But the congressional generic won't budge off that 10 point GOP deficit. So what the hell.
