Memo to Reid and Pelosi:
David S. Addington, who is now Cheney’s chief of staff, viewed both U.S. lawmakers and overseas allies with “hostility” and repeatedly opposed efforts by other administration lawyers to soften counterterrorism policies or seek outside support, according to Jack L. Goldsmith, who frequently clashed with Addington while serving as head of the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2003 and 2004.
“We’re going to push and push and push until some larger force makes us stop,” Addington said at one point, according to Goldsmith.
Can you be that ‘larger force’? Please?
