Le Shorter: Arlen Specter Insults Latin America

In responding to a Gallup poll which shows that a plurality of Americans support the idea of a Congressional investigation into the anti-terror excesses of the previous occupant, the Republican Senator from Pennsylvania said, "If every administration started to examine what every prior administration did, there would be no end to it.  This is not Latin America."  Chile and South Africa have both held "truth commissions" over civil right abuses by undemocratic governments.  Specter himself served on the Warren Commission that investigated the JFK assassination.  Wackydoodle sez, "Y'all remember irony is dead!"
