I forgot to add that Eric has now said

I note that I didn't say he'd defended the Bush administration or the
decision to go to war.  Really I am concerned only with arguments
(defences, yes) that take the form

"Yes I killed X, but B is a *mass murderer*" -- I refer list members
to my first posts on this point.
