George's torture program (but don't tell anybody)

nothing really new here... going all the way back to ricardo sanchez' appearance in front of the senate armed services committee (where he perjured himself, by the way), it's been crystal clear that torture IS the policy of the united states and that it has been authorized from the executive office of the president...
"The administration has been almost pathological in trying to find ways to keep these people [14 accused terrorists currently being held at Guantánamo Bay] from ever seeing a real judge or a real lawyer," John Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, told the Associated Press, "and the reasons are obvious."

[...]

"It seems likely now that the president may have not only known about the torture program, but may have ordered it," Turley told the AP. "That would be truly otherwordly, where the United States could be accused of running a torture program."

of COURSE, he knew about it... of COURSE, he ordered it...
