Larison to Palin

He makes a good point for a potential question at the VP debate:

"The question Couric asked was about Court rulings that Palin disagreed with, and we all know that McCain thinks that Boumediene was one of the worst rulings in history and Palin thought it was cute to knock Obama for his opposition to Boumediene by misstating his position in her convention speech. So, here’s a question for the VP debate moderator to ask: 'Gov. Palin, you said in your convention speech that Sen. Obama wanted to read terrorists their rights. Why do you say that, and how do you interpret Boumediene v. Bush to have anything to do with reading suspects their rights?' Or maybe keep it simple: 'Gov. Palin, does habeas corpus apply in cases concerning suspected terrorists, and do you think the Supreme Court was wrong to grant suspected terrorists due process?'"

Latest From Gates

Andrew Sullivan posted a great read on Secretary Gates' position on "modesty" with American military action. I happen to agree quite a bit with it. Link is below:
