George W. Bush (via TPM):

"I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor," he said. "I'll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don't believe that persuasion isn't going to work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind."

So we're back to this, are we? Karl Rove's therapy meme? OK, OK. Fine. In that case, I've got a complaint of my own. I told you I'm not going to criticize Republicans. I'll just tell you that there are nice Arabs out there and I don't believe that summary execution of every Arab on earth is going to work. The Republicans' proposed concentration camps and holocaust, intended to wipe out the entire Arab race, aren't going to win hearts and minds around the world.

What? Isn't it permissible now to invent an outlandish caricature of our opponents and pretend it's real?
