When I heard Michael Hayden defending torture like he did on Morning Joe today...

...this image from "Brazil" came to mind again:


Here's self-serving Gen. Hayden with help from Scarborough hop-scotching around the topic by, as usual, claiming torture worked to get vital information while carefully not saying it was the only alternative that would have worked. Throws in a few strawman examples for good measure. At least he didn't bring his grandkids to the set again.

AND the MIC--now that is a trifecta to beat all. Where'd ol' Leon go, BTW? He was everywhere bashing Obama and his foreign policy for four weeks before the midterms, and then he slinks back to the ranch after the elections. What a complete tool.
