A few years ago the left had no problem with the release of Abu Ghraib photos even though the release would endanger the troops.

Since whem do they care about increased danger to the troops?

All at once some of these people want to imprison an American citizen for breaking no laws in order to protect the troops.

I ain’t buying it. What the government is really scared of is the citizens finding out what a crappy job they have done by letting a ton of jihadis into the US to attack us if they don’t get their way.

At the end of the video clip you’ll see Heilemann make a related argument to his fellow liberal Deutsch, asking if he would have favored the prohibition of the publication of the Abu Ghraib photos.

This nails it.

Excellent.....Maybe we all wouldn’t be slowly going nuts if we could count on just one person in government sticking to one position on any given subject. The Constitution doesn’t work or something is contrary to the Constitution blah blah blah! Guess that’s what political expediency is all about.
