Give the people what they want

The smug blitherati of the Beltway, self-appointed keepers of the conventional Beltway widom, insist daily that they know what Americans think. The polling suggests otherwise. It seems a majority of Americans don't want us to torture, do want to see Gitmo closed, want due process in US courts of law, even for alleged terrorists and think the Bush White House should be at least investigated to determine the extent of their illegal activities.

The only Americans who don't want this are the elite media and staunch Republicans. Shocking. Think it has anything to do with complicity?

Update: Barack gets it. He shut down the secret CIA prisons today.
