Republican politicians and their mouthpieces in the media continue to oppose any attempt at legal accountability for the Bush administration officials who advocated torture and the agents who did the torturing.
Some of them go so far as to argue that torture is justified when it is used to obtain information from possible terrorists.
The fact is that torture is illegal, under domestic U.S. law and international law. Period.
It is almost amusing to note that many of the people who are defending the Bush administration's use of torture are the same ones who worked so hard to impeach Bill Clinton over a sexual tryst.
So to them, it appears, lying about sex is a horrendous crime deserving of very harsh consequences, but torturing human beings is not.
God bless America.
