Heads Screwed on Backwards

"The right is treating the lawyers who came up with the justification for torture as heroes, and the lawyers like Katyal, who helped restore the rule of law, as villains. They've just got their heads screwed on backwards."

Lt. Col. David Frakt (who represented detainees both in military and civilian courts).

"I realize that right-wing political hacks are going to engage in some pretty loathsome tactics from time to time. But the crusade against these Justice Department officials obliterates any lines of decency or modern norms, and should permanently discredit the cheap and tasteless attackers."

Steven Benen, of the Blog "Political Animal."

That pretty much sums it up (except that these sentiments are not exclusive to our friends on the right).
