Many of the loudest opponents of releasing the report don’t normally think that “violence and deaths” from protests or terrorist attacks can ever be linked to U.S. actions overseas, and even if they accept that there is a link they don’t think that has any implications for what the U.S. should or should not be doing abroad. Changing a particular policy or avoiding an intervention all together in order to minimize the risk of attacks against Americans is normally portrayed by many of the same people as “giving in” to terrorism. Only now that there is minimal accountability for the illegal and abhorrent use of torture by our government are they moved to worry about what people in other countries might do in response.

So, some personal news. Today I resign from The New Republic.But I am excited to join Fusion! Which I am also resigning from, effective immediately.
To start a new adventure at BuzzFeed! An adventure, I might add, which ends today.
Because I’ve been hired by Vox! And from which I must summarily tender my resignation.
Thoughts Occasioned by My Staying Home to Crank Through These Papers Because They Simply Have to Be Returned Today
“Just one more cup of coffee to get me fortified.”
“Yes, I posted on the demise of TNR last night, but I think there’s something else I need to get off my chest.”
“Of course, it would be irresponsible to add to the already-voluminous commentary on this subject without first reading much of that voluminous commentary, just in case someone has anticipated my idea.”
“How long has it been since that dog was brushed?”
“If I grade these on the iPad instead of the Mac I’ll be able to lie down while grading.”
“That stylus — where’s my stylus?”
“Not really the best stylus in the world. I wonder if there are some new models I should check out?”
“Did Teri take Malcolm for a walk this morning? Poor guy. He looks like he needs a walk.”
“I probably can’t concentrate because I’m lounging around in sweatpants, as though I’m about to go to sleep. I need to change into some proper clothes.”
“I need coffee.”
“Isn’t there an app with Aeropress recipes?”
“Goodness, this refrigerator needs a very thorough cleaning and reorganization.”
“All this would be a lot easier if I were wearing a really comfy pair of sweatpants.”
“Rolling Stone posted what??”
