Washington's liberal establishment is at war with itself over who lied to whom in the Pelosi/CIA mess.
James Lewis, for one, is delighted: "It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch."
He's right. But my prediction is they'll declare peace before things get totally out of hand, which is to say, no "truth commission." A truth commission hurts Democrats, not Republicans. It exposes their hypocrisy and claims they didn't know "torture" was going on. Republicans say, we knew, it wasn't "torture" and we were all for it. If the Dems are smart they'll drop the whole thing. We'll see.
If the Republicans say that they knew that torture was going in, but refuse to label it torture, they can join Cheney at his war crimes trial.
