One Would Suppose

"Earlier this month, in describing how CIA questioning had loosened the tongues of 14 high-profile suspects captured after 9/11 and imprisoned abroad, Bush insisted that they weren't tortured. Yet in the same speech, he worried that U.S. interrogators 'could now be at risk of prosecution under the War Crimes Act — simply for doing their jobs in a thorough and professional way.' "

Thorough. Professional.

It's hard to imagine a more "thorough and professional" organization than the late unlamented Gestapo. The efficiency with which they carried out their perverse acts was unprecedented. And rarely matched since. Certainly not by the CIA. Or the FBI. While those organizations are now pretty much dedicated to presenting a shiny unsullied facade to the public, their effectiveness at the supposed tasks they were created for is at a sad ebb.

Meanwhile, one would suppose, and certainly wish, that George W. Bush had finally awakened to the fact that he has acted so wrongly and so despicably, that he is now engaged in trying to A: Hide his criminal activities, or B: Maneuver himself into a position to recieve a complete pardon from his predecessor.
History suggests, however, that he is still unable to connect with reality sufficiently to understand that what he has done, is doing, and likely plans to do, is not only immoral, but also totally counterproductive in "Promoting the General Welfare" of the country.
