The torture thing; a few loose ends

The torture thing; a few loose ends 1) About those torture memos Cheney swore would exonerate his lying ass.

2) Not that the CIA even paid attention to its own regulations, because torturing the people we kidnap is a good thing in and of itself.

3) The CIA and the Bush White House kept tight, hour-by-hour supervision of torture that truly rivals the Nazis; check the record-keeping.

4) Eichmanns For Hire. The only difference here is that instead of “we were just following orders,” they were just making a profit.

For folks unfamiliar with Eichmann…

5) Torture? Can’t we find, you know, a word that’s less, um, harsh ?

5a) Andrew Sullivan on the practice that dare not speak its name – in the Washington Post, anyway.

6) Not that Obama and his crew are doing such an exemplary job, either.
