You seem well qualified to be an intelligence analyst for the Bush Administration. Or
a reporter for Fox News.
The likelihood that Bush Administration officials at the highest levels were
uninvolved with approving torture is so remote as to beg the question "what if
superman were german." Our nation's current attorney general wrote a memo legally
justifying torture. I suppose you're trying to argue that there is some chance that
this was all just an academic piece of research, and just coincidentally torture
occurred at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo? What about the renderings of suspects to
other countries for torture? These decisions were all made by mid-level
bureaucrats in the DIA/CIA?
Spare us your idiocy, please.
