Sorry, but when the vice president of the United States says he’s in favor of torture, and he’s the “decider” of the executive branch, I have to laugh at tendentious attempts to show that torture hasn’t been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
We’ve seen the photos from Abu Ghraib.
We’ve read the military’s own reports on the extent of torture, including the killing of a suspect at the Bagram airbase — initially explained as an accident and later, after a NY Times-led investigation, admitted as torture.
I like the breadth of Pajama’s credulity. On one page, they argue vociferously that Cheney’s approval of torture is just fine, a necessity. Then on the next page, they try to slime around the evidence to suggest that torture hasn’t taken place.
