Cotton, Clinton, Ferguson: You've Got Mail! | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The fact that MSW finds the racist police system in Ferguson as leasts worrisome is in fact worrisome and a failure of empathy on his part. They acted with evil intent and are not some aberation - their behavior is endemic to the old south - something that federal laws cannot cure without federal investigation and enforcement. MSW needs to imagine himself in Northern Ireland before the Accords and an official police organizaiton with its eyes on him.
As for Mrs. Clinton, I suspect (and no one knows as yet) that her private emails had to do with her political organization - not the affairs of state. Any such discussions would have been about how whatever is happening would impact 2016. Any other construction would include both the White House and the Department in an off-the-books scandal - which I am sure they are too smart to go into while the GOP is likely hoping to find something beyond the Secretary.
Senator Cotton represents the same kind of people who are OK with Ferguson being just the way it is, so writing publishing something ham handed, which the Iranians have already mocked, won't cost him anything. Sadly, the GOP seems to be staffed with experts on public relations, rather than on public policy. It has not always been so but it leaves them ill qualified to govern. Pity that.
