Once again I did not think that I would be blogging tonight because of lack of time, but some things are so ridiculous that I have to blog about them.
The Bush administration based a crucial prewar assertion about ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda on detailed statements made by a prisoner while in Egyptian custody who later said he had fabricated them to escape harsh treatment, according to current and former government officials.
Why am I not suprised. However, the point of this post is not point out yet another lie spoonfed to the nation and passed on by the press. The point is to drive a hypothetical nail in the justification for torture's coffin. IF torture yielded accurate information, you might have a case - albeit a case more cynical than Henry Kissinger - for using it. But look: torture does not yield accurate information. There is absolutely no reason to ever use it.
George W. Bush is still a fucker.
