Senator Craig and practical epistomology

[nancylebov]

Craig, 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.
