You can't take it, kj. Neither can Dakota. If this particular shoe were on a Republican foot we would all be hearing what a magnificent accomplishment this is for the US and all of mankind. But since the President happens to be a Democrat, it's a terrible abuse of international law and an awful blow to our national image while somehow vindicating W's use of torture. Don't bother us with all of the Faux News Rush Limbaugh-Michelle Malkin crap.

Not from me you wouldn't. Don't have Fox News, wouldn't know where to find Rush, I don't even know who Michelle Malkin is. My only real feeling on the killing of OBL is that I'm uncomfortable with the celebration, and I don't think it really accomplishes all that much, other than good pr for Obama.

A liberal friend of mine "liked" both these articles within a couple hours of each other, yesterday:

I guess it would make a liberal democrat choose between being liberal, or being a democrat. Or not, evidently. Or maybe principles vs politics? Interesting to see where people fall, but I can't see any way to reconcile the "liking" of both points of view. kj.
