Rep. Nadler on Fox, Sen. Whitehouse on MSNBC agree, no legal choice but to investigate torture allegations, wherever they may lead...

Guest blogged by Ernest A. Canning

Former U.S. Attorney and Rhode Island Attorney General Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) recently wrote in National Law Journal:
The judicial branch...has determined that waterboarding is torture...The Bush administration has admitted to waterboarding captives. The corpus delicti of that crime exists. For there to be investigation now is unexceptional.

The only exceptional thing is the parties involved: the former vice president of the United States, his counsel David Addington, Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) lawyer John Yoo and their private contractors Bruce Jessen and Jim Mitchell, psychologists who designed the torture program.

7. But Dick exempted himself from every recognized branch of government.
How can we hold him accountable? Bwahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Oh, poor, sad, flaccid Dick (I'm channeling Shakespere), who'd a thunk it'd come back to bite you on the ass? Kkkarl and his "math" are your undoing. No empire for you, you evil fuckwad.
