Senator Craig and practical epistomology
Aug. 29th, 2007 06:09 amCraig, who's been accused of soliciting sex from an undercover police officer, says""I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter," he said. "In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously."
The police are legally permitted to lie to get confessions, and a good bit of the public agrees with the policy.
While yet another Republican sex scandal is still fun, I'm forced to conclude that I don't know any more about Craig's sex life than I did before I'd heard his name.
I could hope that he'll push for better procedures in handling suspects, but I'm not counting on it.
If it hadn't been for Illuminatus!, I might have been a normal person. Ok, a relatively normal person.
