Moral Innumeracy - Pure Moral Idiocy - Sheer Moral Depravity

"I doubt whether even Donald Rumsfeld will describe what has been done to two young American soldiers as a 'coercive interrogation technique.' But you never know.

Maybe the news of captured, tortured and murdered Americans will jog their conscience. Or maybe it will simply reinforce the logic of torture-reciprocity endorsed by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Gonzales... And so the cycle of depravity and defeat deepens..."
