Is it infuriating to anyone else that irrational belief in the President's "good intentions", by people who should know better, serves only to disable effective resistance? The true

Adam refers to is in reality not that of the Obama administration, but that of the
American people's resolve to do what is right, to demand accountability of the war
criminals in our midst, at every opportunity. Anything less is complicity.
