His Rudeness gets it right (again)....

[Aviation Pro]

Nothing to add, it's why he's the reigning King of Rude:

Reading the entire memo is suicidally depressing, with its analysis of what types of assaults are cool, of how war crimes are not being committed, of how to weasel out of treaty obligations, of how the dictionary defines certain words (really), and on and on (81 pages of it). There's also the section on how we should judge ourselves by how other countries define torture, like, oh, Israel.

The whole thing's like looking at the private blog of a particularly awful child molester detailing how this nine-year old boy he fucked was coming on to him or how the five-year old he killed was asking for a strangling with all that whimpering. You read it long enough and you put yourself into the mindset and you might think, "Well, sure, I suppose someone could think that, but then again, I'm a civilized human being and think this is nauseating bullshit that only a depraved, bugfuck insane baby fucker could understand."

1. Goodness, mercy me, I didn't think there were words vile enough to express my feelings about these

...fiends from the bowels of Hell.

So therefore I owe you and the Rude Pundit a vote of thanks for doing so for me.
