It bothers me deeply that that hypothetical always gets trotted out to justify and rationalize things like what happened at Abu Ghraib, or torturing someone who is insane.

It bothers me deeply that Abu Ghraib always gets trotted out to try to smear the entire military.
Abu Ghraib was an example of a lousy platoon with even poorer leadership. Besides all other things, it was an on-going sex party. Oh, and we punished those involved, didn't we?
So Ty, the bomb is ticking. Assam knows how to stop it. He's sitting there. What's it gonna be, Ty. Yes...or...no.
You don't have time to sleep on it

What do you think about the fact that Bush wants to have it both ways? He orders torture -- pretend with me for the moment that waterboarding is torture, although apparently we have a difference of opinion about that -- but he's not willing to take the heat by saying that's what he's doing, so he soft-pedals and denies it.

This assumes Suskind's sources are telling the truth. Then again, I thought Cheny and Rumsfeld gave all the orders around the White House and Dumya just goes on vacation?
