Thanks for that link, Amos. It seems that Sullivan's changed views have cost him some sleepless nights.

And it is far from over. He and other previous Bush disciples will sooner rather than later, I have no doubt of it, come to the awful realization their leader has betrayed them, betrayed their country and betrayed everyone who ever thought that America stood for something a good deal above what we now have to face.

I said in another thread that sometimes I think it would be only fair if a Republican administration got into office this fall, in order to clean up the unprecedented mess their party created. Someoe - was it you? - responded something to the effect that "Would you send in a three-year old to clean up a mess?" And I realized with finality that I was wrong.

I don't envy anyone who will next inhabit the Oval Office. As bad as we know it to be, I suspect that we don't know the half of it.
