Just saw Eugene Fidell, president of the National Institute of Military Justice, on CNN with Paula Zahn, and he came up with a great metaphor for this time we're living in, especially in the context of Abu Ghraib and mistreatment of the inmates there. Since 9/11, he said, we've been in the "wilderness." He acknowledged that this is uncharted territory for the United States, so only time will tell where the current investigations into Abu Ghraib will lead.
That idea of the wilderness. Yeah, that's exactly how it feels.
I don't think that John Kerry's any Moses who's gonna lead us out of the wilderness. Nonetheless, I think he'd be a better guide than that deranged prophet who's barreling through the wilderness right now.
