TORTURE THOUGHTS
Looks as though there will be a push to prosecute for the crime of torture, at least of those who authorized the torture techniques or wrote spurious legal opinions on the subject. Good.
In the meantime, Fox News people and morning host Joe Scarborough continue to rant that the release of the torture memos compromises our intelligence and interrogation efforts. This, despite the facts torture usually doesn't work (Cheney continuing to claim otherwise), the torture details are public knowledge, and we're not going to use them in the future anyway.
I think that the real torture is listening to Joe Scarborough go on and on raving about the supposed dangers in the release of these memos.
