The night before, Stewart made the comment when discussing torture with Cliff May, president of The Foundation for Defense of Democracies. May asked Stewart if Truman was a

Local blogger Nick Sloan has a good defense of Truman’s decision.
Last night, Stewart came to his senses. Apology accepted, Jon.
