Are Riled Bill Kristol and Big Dick Cheney's daughter Liz trying to channel the spirit of McCarthy by accusing members of the Department of Justice of being terrorists (= 1950s communists)? Are they not aware that John Adams defended the British soldiers accused of committing the Boston Massacre?

"Back in the fall of 2003, I was in London for an conference and I took a stroll around the neighborhood near my hotel. At one point I turned a corner and saw a massive, looming building, surrounded with various barriers and fences and looking for all the world like an updated version of a medieval castle. "What's that?" I wondered, and wandered over to investigate. It was the U.S. Embassy, of course, and I was struck by how forbidding and unwelcoming it was. It seemed to me to be a vivid physical symbol of a powerful Empire striving to keep the outside world at bay."
