WSJ.com - Jack Bauer Insurance

"The Washington Post reported yesterday that more CIA counterterrorism officers are signing up for private insurance that would pay for civil judgments and legal costs if they are sued or charged with a crime. These are the agents who interrogated Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah and other jihadis, using what President Bush last week called methods that were legal but "tough." Those methods succeeded in breaking these men into divulging information that led to the arrest of other al Qaeda bigs, and to the foiling of plots that could have killed thousands."

What the hell is wrong with our country? How can we defeat our enemy if the point of the spear (versus all the bureacrats, lawyers, media pundits, ACLU-ers, media types and, of course, politicians standing behind their protctive umbrella) has to buy insurance to protect themselves?

We will lose this war unless we start tatin it like a war. G-d save the world and ou children if that comes to pass.
