Bush/Cheney/Obama radicalism布什/切尼/奥巴马的激进主义
So that's where the American consensus now lies.所以，这就是美国目前的共识所在。 The practices used by Britain, Spain, India and Indonesia (and the Reagan administration) of treating Terrorists as criminals and convicting them in normal courts — with due process — is too fringe Leftist for the United States, which has spent decades sermonizing to the rest of the world about the need for due process and the evils of arbitrary detention.由英国，西班牙的做法，印度和印度尼西亚（与里根政府当作罪犯定罪的恐怖分子和他们的正常法院） - 正当程序 - 太边缘的美国，它已经花费了数十年的说教其他左派在有关适当程序的需要，任意拘留的罪恶世界。 Instead, our political and media establishment demands that we replicate the policies of Libya and Saudi Arabia: simply hold accused Terrorists without trials or, at most, invent special due-process-abridging military tribunals to ensure they are convicted.相反，我们的政治和媒体的建立，要求我们复制利比亚和沙特阿拉伯的政策：只要持有被告未经审判恐怖分子，或至多发明特殊的正当程序，省略军事法庭，以确保他们定罪。
George Bush and Dick Cheney ended up as two of the most despised political leaders of the last century, so our establishment had to pretend that they, too, found their policies to be distasteful and extreme.乔治布什和切尼结束，作为上个世纪最瞧不起的政治领导人2了，所以我们建立了假装，他们也发现他们的政策是令人讨厌的，极端的。 But that was clearly a pretense.但是，这显然是一个借口。 In those very rare instances where Obama and his Attorney General try to deviate, they're accused (including by leading members of their own party) of accommodating “the Far Left” and being “Soft on Terror.”在这种非常罕见的情况下，奥巴马和他的总检察长试图偏离，他们被告（包括领导自己的党成员迁就“远东左”和被“反恐软）。”
The undeniable truth is that our establishment craves Bush/Cheney policies because it is as radical as they are.无可否认的事实是，我们渴望建立布什/切尼的政策，因为它是激进的，因为它们。 That one is automatically accused of being too Leftist merely by literally reciting Reagan administration policy on Terrorists (in words if not deeds) – and that one can be “centrist” only by standing with the due-process-denying practices of Libya and Saudi Arabia — reflects just how far the American spectrum has regressed.这是一个自动指责太左逐字背诵由里根政府对恐怖分子的政策（即如果不是在行动） - 这可以是“中间只有通过与正当程序，剥夺了利比亚和沙特阿拉伯站在实践”只是 - 反映了目前美国光谱退化了。
