Someone Even A Lawyer Could Loathe

Rachel Zabarkes Friedman doesn't much care for Lynne Stewart or her defenders:

It would be heartening, in fact, to see mainstream liberals condemn Stewart's actions — and her ilk — more forcefully. Distaste for or concern about the Bush administration shouldn't undermine the rational judgment that Stewart did something unacceptable, and should pay a price for it. There is also a larger danger to think about: that, as Kurlantzick warns, "the ideas propagated by the hard Left-Islamist alliance could also seep into the wider political culture, poisoning the mainstream Left and otherwise sane liberals." In that regard, the intellectual danger of not condemning Stewart may be even greater than the practical danger she posed by what she did.


Think Kos will have anything to say about this?
