To Know The Truth
Andrew Sullivan has some issues with the Bush administration, and vents his frustrations in this recent post.
Building his argument on the Ron Suskind book "The One Percent Doctrine: Deep Inside America's Pursuit Of Its Enemies Since 9/11," Sullivan accepts the account he refers to in his post as true and lashes out at the president for his unforgivable monstrosities.
Perhaps the account told in Suskind's book is true, and perhaps it isn't. That is for someone else to know and me to find out.
However, since Sullivan opens his post by asking "How can anyone trust him if Ron Suskind's account is true?" Implying that he himself is not quite sure of the validity of the information found in the book. At least that is the question taken at face value. If there are some hidden subtleties or sarcastic connotations that I am missing, then please forgive a naive observer of public information.
If though there aren't, and Sullivan isn't sure of the truth, perhaps he should be less quick to hurl spiteful judgments and demeaning titles on another man. Without the truth that is after all, libel.
