Dionne on the Importance of Allowing Dissent During Wartime
WorkingForChange’s E.J. Dionne, Jr., has a nice piece on the Republicans in Congress who have made such a fuss about Tom Daschle’s criticism of Bush’s war-mongering: Hawks flirt with dissent double standard. He points out that some of the same people telling Daschle he’s a traitor for not supporting the Commander-in-Chief took advantage of their freedom to offer the exact same sort of criticism themselves when Clinton was bombing Kosovo. Funny how that works.
