Takes one to know one

Takes one to know one

I haven’t written anything about Charlie Savage’s explosive revelation of an odious Obama Justice Department memo justifying the president’s contention that he has the right to order the assassination of American citizens without even a nod to due process or congressional authority because it’s just too much. It’s particularly upsetting news that the memo was written by Marty Lederman, one of George W. Bush’s harshest critics — for doing exactly what he then did. For any of you who followed the details of the Yoo and Bybee memos of yore, this is profoundly depressing. I guess it takes on to know one.

You can get the whole sordid story from Greenwald. Oy.
