@rmockler is that those elites are much more thoroughly insulated from the costs of war, and therefore have no sense of crisis or urgency.

@ChMadar ... but it's a pretty big leap from there to justification for lawbreaking, even if the laws are stupid/evil/extremely harmful -
@rmockler Do you think Carter erred in pardoning all the Vietnam draft evaders and resisters? Or that Ellsberg should rightfully be in jail? -
@ChMadar not at all but the point is they had to be pardoned, which acknowledges the wrongdoing... -
@rmockler That's interesting…we're getting almost ritualistic here. You'd be cool with a pardon for Manning, Snowden then? -
@ChMadar Fine with ritualistic, one might even call it "rule of law." Also fine if motive/harm are considered in pursuing leakers.
