So you were addressing the possibility of future behavior?

It just seemed weird because this issue didn't seem to be about cover-ups and conspiracy theories.

Look at Bush and Cheney. After they got out of the White House...lots of things came out about them. So I wouldn't be surprised if some kind of scandal surfaces about her.

I wouldn't say that lots of things came out about them. I think it would be more accurate to say that more information arose about things that the public was already aware of, or that the public had some inkling had occurred. Unless I'm forgetting something, I don't think there have been any surprise bombshells about either (except for maybe the talk about Cheney and pushing for assassinations).

Let's not forget about waterboarding. Isn't Cheney also in trouble for that?

Yeah, but that was known while he was still in office. I thought you were focusing on information that came out after leaving office.

I disagree. I honestly can't think of a single thing that came out after they left office that wasn't discussed before they left office. What are you talking about? You can find waterboarding articles going back years, I think, and certainly before the 2008 election.

Again, what are you talking about?

Not to mention that it wasn't covered up or involved in a conspiracy theory.

ETA: When did Andrew Sullivan start talking about waterboarding? I thought it was back when I was still reading him, which would make it a long time ago. EATA: well it looks like it was 2005/2006. I don't know if that's really that long, but it's way pre-leaving office for B and C.

I don't know what she's talking about either, but I know what she's talking out of.
