The Inquisition among us

One American in ten agrees that waterboarding is torture but wants American interrogators to use it. Ten percent aren't even rationalizing the evil that they are willing to do.

Personally, I think these people should be lined up against a wall and shot.

Heh. Not funny. All the hyperbole that's left to satirize these brownshirts has to be too extreme to be funny.

Let's bring back trial by ordeal! Oh, right, Guantanamo, Jose Padilla, the black sites, extraordinary rendition. I'm too late again with my helpful suggestion.

In case you haven't noticed, the rule of law is over in this country.
