Rapture!
I have never before been so utterly ecstatic to be so utterly wrong.
All day long I've been periodically breaking into a smirk, and have had the theme from Team America: World Police stuck in my head ("America - fuck, yeah!").
There is a niggling part of me that suspects that, like the removal of Margaret Thatcher from 10 Downing Street sixteen years ago this month, this does just make it more likely the right will make gains at the next election. But there's such a simple, natural justice in it that it somehow doesn't dent my mood.
Nice one, Democrats. Now prove you were worth it.

Well, i believed you first time round, and I believe you again now. I.e. that it won't make that much difference. I don't read American political blogs but i do read some international law focused ones, which carry a reasonable range of reasonable opinion, if that's not contradictory. They are saying - don't expect the Democrats to want to show themselves weak on security issues. They won't be going after issues such as Guantanamo and CIA blackholes. It may not be that exciting...
