ABC: Top Bush Advisors Were "Personally Involved" in Planning Interrogations

You already knew that there was no way John Yoo was shooting around memos authorizing interrogation techniques that amount to torture without the White House and Bush's top advisers knowing about it. Now ABC News proves it — they have Cheney officially signing off and then-Attorney General John Ashcroft asking, "Why are we talking about this in the White House? History will not judge this kindly."

That's the kind of administration this is: John Ashcroft is the most reasonable guy in the room.

And it's not the first time Ashcroft was on the side of the rule of law—remember the whole sick bed incident.

Rice (to the CIA): "This is your baby. Go do it."

Did she REALLY know those girls who died in the church bombing, or is that just a tall tale?

Dubya is the torture president and he heads the torture administration.

Their motto: semper vox. Always screaming.
