Truth

Josh Marshall has this exactly right:

What this country will end up needing is something like a Truth and Reconciliation Commission because what the country needs is not so much for particular people to go to jail but for the lies and the lies to cover up earlier lies to stop. The country can't get past what has happened or move forward until we can get the truth on the table, deal with it and move on.


This is what the Kristof's of the world miss. We can't move on until everyone understands how we got here.
