More on my favorite - or maybe my least favorite - topic. Some of the positions of the VP make me wonder if he even understands that we are dealing with human beings:
The vice president's lawyer advocated what was considered the memo's most radical claim: that the president may authorize any interrogation method, even if it crosses the line of torture. U.S. and treaty laws forbidding any person to "commit torture," that passage stated, "do not apply" to the commander in chief, because Congress "may no more regulate the President's ability to detain and interrogate enemy combatants than it may regulate his ability to direct troop movements on the battlefield."
More goodies (or baddies) here. |
