Any time human life is lost it is tragic. Please hear me say that up front.
What’s the difference, though, between Huckabee’s role in paroling a convict who later committed atrocities that resulted in loss of life and Clinton have UBL in the cross-hairs (according to some, on multiple occasions) and failing to pull the trigger?
If there’s no difference (and I submit that there is no difference), and if Clinton got elected to two terms…..I’m just sayin’.
To Tony - the UBL ‘misses’ really didn’t come to national attention (or national concern) until after 9/11, by which time Clinton was out of office. Before 9/11, terrorism was still an ‘over there’ issue - even with the ‘93 WTC’s bombings.
The circumstances surrounding the release of Drumond, in particular the ‘executive session’ meetings with the parole board, are of concern. It’s already turning into a ‘he said/they said’ sort of banter with questions arising about what pressured Huck to choose Drumond in the first place.
The fact that Huck didn’t out-and-out grant him clemency and instead pushed for parole (supposedly insulating himself from future criticism regarding the case) definately raises my eyebrows a tad.
People are already suspicious of Mr. Bush’s claims of faith. Right or wrong, Huck being a Christian is only going to bring the skepticism of others to full volume.
I think there have been a lot of lies and mistruths spread about this issue. I don’t know that any of us really know what really happened. Typical election nonsense.
