What you missed

The main news from Saturday's GOP debate (which focused on foreign policy) is that Bachmann, Cain and Perry are totally down with torture, US law and the Geneva Convention be damned. Beyond that, Kevim Drum succinctly wraps up what you missed: "Herman Cain almost charmingly demonstrated that he simply knows nothing about the outside world, and Rick Perry beat expectations by not imploding spectacularly again. All of the candidates insisted that they'd take a completely different approach to Iran than Barack Obama, but then proposed doing almost exactly what Obama is doing. For the most part, though, as Dan Drezner says, the candidates kept the crazy bottled up fairly well. But not always." Impressed yet?
