Ashcroft: History will not judge this kindly

ABC is reporting what I have been saying was really happening inside the white house for years:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush's most senior advisers approved "enhanced interrogation techniques" of top al Qaeda suspects by the Central Intelligence Agency, ABC News reported on Wednesday, citing sources it did not name. ABC reported that the so-called "principals" discussed interrogation details in dozens of top-secret talks and meetings in the White House.

And who exactly were these "principals"? Rice, Cheney, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Powell, and Tenet. And what exactly were they discussing?:
"Highly placed sources said a handful of top advisers signed off on how the CIA would interrogate top al Qaeda suspects -- whether they would be slapped, pushed, deprived of sleep or subjected to simulated drowning, called waterboarding,"
Torture. War crimes. You know, the same acts that we successfully prosecuted during the Nuremberg trials. The same acts that were made illegal through the Geneva Conventions. Oh! That's right! Bush actually un-signed the ICC Treaty so they don't have to be held accountable to the International Court. And then he created the Military Commissions Act so that they can declare domestic immunity. So nice that they thought to cover all their bases. Too bad for our soldiers. It doesn't seem that they are covered, does it? A little hard to cry foul when our guy gets waterboarded when our masochistic VP is in the white house helping to "choreograph" torture techniques:
The high-level discussions about these "enhanced interrogation techniques" were so detailed, these sources said, some of the interrogation sessions were almost choreographed -- down to the number of times CIA agents could use a specific tactic.
Aren't you proud to be an American? I wonder how much security will have to surround the Olympic torch around the world for the 2016 games if they are in Chicago? We certainly can't take the moral high ground on human right issues.
