I've received a few e-mails and comments about my Huffington column -- telling me that just because the Bush administration is done in 12 days, we should just move on. In one respect, this is absolutely true. It's a new era and it's not always helpful or healthy to randomly rehash the same gripes and crimes. However, there's an historical context to the Bush era that needs to be hammered over and over. That was the broader argument of my column.
Adding: Specifically, I'm talking about the historical record. Halperin and others are clearly penning revisionist records of the Bush years. It's important to counter that as often as possible.
