Tortured logic
'The memos were obviously concocted to defend acts that are clearly beyond the bounds of a civilized nation.'
The United States' moral authority to call for the rule of law and respect for human rights has been undermined by legal machinations the Bush administration undertook to justify torturing prisoners taken in the war on terror.
The memos support the view that the prisoner abuses uncovered at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq were not merely the grave mistakes of a few soldiers, but resulted from policies formed at the highest levels of government.

Some days it's hard to be funny.
