SEN. McCAIN: We all know that bad things were done. We all know that the operatives who did it most likely were under orders to do so. For us to continue this and harm our image throughout the world--I agree with the president of the United States, it's time to move forward and not go back.
MR. GREGORY: But where's the accountability?
SEN. McCAIN: Well, the accountability, obviously, is that people's reputations have been harmed very badly. The question is, is do we want America's image harmed more by dragging this out further and further?

Meet the Press
July 12, 2009
Cut to the great hall. Guests wounded and bloody, are tending to the dead and injured, sighs and groans, the princess in her white wedding dress is holding her chest and coughing blood. People are dabbing the stains off her dress.
The Father and Sir Lancelot start to walk down the grand staircase, talking to each other. One of the guests notices and points to Lancelot.
Guest: There he is!
Lancelot cannot be stopped. With fearless abandon he throws himself into the crowd and starts hacking and slashing. He has carved quite a number up before the Father can stop him and pulls him back onto the stairs. Renewed groans and cries.
Guest: He's killed the best man!
Second Guest: (holding a limp woman) He's killed my auntie.
Father: No, please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who.

OK, so that was pretty obvious. But I couldn't resist.
