Rep. Delahunt's Disgrace

Yesterday, Vice President Cheney's chief of staff David Addington refused to discuss particular interrogation techniques during a meeting on Capitol Hill because al Qaeda could benefit from such communications being broadcast on television. Democratic Congressman Delahunt replied: “I’m sure they are watching. I’m glad they finally have a chance to see you, Mr. Addington, given your penchant for being unobtrusive."

Delahunt claims he was trying to say "I have a chance to see you," rather than "they." It sure doesn't seem that way when you watch the video.

This wouldn't have been the first time Delahunt expressed a friendly attitude toward our enemies. In the past, he expressed gratitude to Hugo Chavez for impoverishing the people of Venezuela to help the people of Massachusetts.
