by the way erps, your link is to something written by John Yoo. He is the genius who wrote the legal briefs justifying torturing people. He is the one who thought that unless something causes "pain equivalent to organ failure" it isnt torture. He alleged that making people think they were drowning didnt count because merely thinking you might die isnt as painful as, say, kidney failure.

the only reason he is in the position he is now is because when they searched through the justice department they couldnt find anyone who would say such absurd and horrible things until they got pretty far down in the ranks and got to him. A real helluva guy.
