First, it was "just following orders". That didn't work too well for those that tried it.
Now, using a set of memos that read like a desparate defendant in search of a defense, when the law is clearly not on their side, they come up with this?
What's next? The dog ate the Constitution, the Conventions, the Treaties, or at least that's what I think I was told, so I'm relying on that. At least, I think that's what I was supposed to rely on, if I remember what they told me to rely on...
