Dirty baker's dozen

Salon summarizes the case for some domestic high-value detainees. No, not a case for torturing them, only the case for detaining them.

So nice of you to notice

Seriously, why does the New York Times have so much trouble being timely? Duhbya's blind stubbornness has been vividly on display since ... forever. And it's a problem now? At this rate, the Gray Lady will be calling loudly for impeachment around 2011.

Oh, in keeping with the Times's goo-goo, responsible self-image, it's a problem because Duhbya, who won't take advice anyway, has only one economic adviser left.

Another war criminal

To the large list of Bushists who are guilty of the war crime of torture, add another name - Steven Bradbury.

A few of the other prominent users, exponents, and defenders of torture:

• Duhbya
• Darth
• Rummy
• John Yoo
• Alberto Gonzales
• Michael McConnell

These men and many others can, by the precedent of Nuremberg, be called to answer for their crimes by an international jurisdiction.
