Yeah, she fits right in at the WaPo

Jennifer Rubin, the new sociopath at the WaPo editorial page manages to write an editorial with two main points...

...we need to make human rights a central theme in our bilateral and multilateral diplomacy regarding Iran.


Alright, fair enough. Can you give us an example of how a "human rights" would manifest itself?

Every nuclear scientist who has a "car accident" and every computer virus buys us time, setting back the timeline for Iran's nuclear capability, while exacting a price for those who cooperate with the nuclear program.


Notice the handy-dandy quotes? A pair of Iranian scientists were killed by a car-bomb in the last few weeks.

Summarized succinctly by Justin Elliott:

Rubin wants the United States to make human rights a central theme in its Iran policy -- and to indiscriminately assassinate civilian scientists.


I can totally see why Fred Hiatt hired her. Richard Cohen is going to find it hard to not email her his favorite sex jokes.

Oh, Jennifer just wants a return to the more nostalgic days when civil rights flourished under the Shah. SAVAK was a civic organization, doncha know?
