Bush torture policies: The latest from Gonzales
Lovely:
So, torture is against the law, except they don't know or won't say what torture is, and executive—let's reserve the word "President" for constitutional officers, shall we?—can set aside the law anyhow, and rule by decree.
Eesh. No Democrat should vote for this guy. There's no upside to it at all.
Mr. Gonzales declined to say in his written responses to the committee what interrogation tactics would constitute torture in his view or which ones should be banned.
