One of the best points in the debate was when Mitt Romney suggested that President Ahmadinejad of Iran could be indicted for what amounts to pre-cog genocide.

I would make sure that Ahmadinejad would be indicted for genocide. His words amount to genocide.

As a Jew I take genocide pretty seriously. But words don’t amount to genocide. And what is Mitt talking about? Our Benjy Sarlin asked about this in the spin room and Mitt’s aides seemed to suggest that this UN/Hague indictment would lead to Ahmadinejad’s arrest and well … problem solved. Call in the Blue Helmets! They’ll solve this one.

We’ll have more on this soon.
