WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld last year personally approved a series of aggressive interrogation techniques for suspected Taliban and Al Qaeda detainees to extract information about the Sept. 11 attacks and help prevent future ones, Pentagon officials said Thursday.
Okay, raise your hand if you're actually surprised. Why isn't this heartless prick in jail, if that's where the soldiers who carried out his orders are going (one convicted so far)? The mind reels.
It's funny - when Bush was (s)elected back in 2000, pundits across the board breathed a sigh of relief, crowing that at long last "the grown-ups would be in charge", as if the Clinton Administration had been eight years at the local Chuck E. Cheese. Well, I guess if by 'grown-ups' you mean abusive foster parents who chain their children naked to the radiator and force them to eat their own feces at gunpoint on camera, then mission fucking accomplished.
Aren't you proud to be an American? I'm just bursting, I tell you what.
