Waterboarding … six times a day for a month. That’s the lasting legacy of the Bush/Cheney adiministration, as the snow of our long winter of discontent melts away and all manner of new info seeps and oozes out disgustingly.

In hearings on Capital Hill, the US “Justice” Department continues to dazzle with precious parsing about the October 2001 Torture Memo.
