Self-Righteousness, Sullivan/Wallace-Style

Andrew Sullivan says:
When future historians ask how the United States came not only to practice torture but to celebrate it and treat torturers as heroes, a special place in hell among the journalists who embraced and justified it should be reserved for Chris Wallace.
Why reserve a place in hell? Why not make them pay now? And shouldn't all those who embraced & justified Bush's wars be dealt w/ while alive & on this mortal coil? Sound like a good idea there, Sully?
Who else might deserve a special place in hell? Those who use phrases like "intellectual honesty" to defend racist tracts. That is, Andrew Sullivan.
Added: More Chris Wallace on torture:

Seeming to take Cheney’s side on the issue, Wallace then looked straight into the camera and responded sarcastically:

WALLACE: Alright, we have to take a break here but I just want to point out to the audience that it is purely coincidental that this country has not been attacked since 9/11.

Although Osama bin Laden could not be reached for a response, Ernie from Sesame Street was able to explain, "Chris you fucking dope, Osama bin Laden wanted to bankrupt this country, corrupt our Constitution, and take away our freedoms. With Bush and Cheney in charge, there was no need for another attack."

Mission Accomplished!"

We believe it was Sun-tzu who wrote, "If your enemies are venal, pseudo-macho oafs who soil themselves at the sight of a mouse, blow some of their shit up; as soon as they get a change of clothes & a flag pin they'll finish the job for you."
