This brings me back to Abu Ghraib. The defendants claimed the push to use "enhanced" techniques came from above them. The government denied this of course and claimed they acted alone. I have to wonder if this is true.

If they were ordered to use these procedures, I don't think they should have complied, as this seems to me to be an illegal order. So no matter what this does not excuse them. I think they themselves were led to believe their behavior was OK without explicit orders.

Did the White House and/or upper government officials push Abu Ghraib officials towards the path of torture? Can the involved officers be brought to justice, not just the enlisted, if this is determined to be the case?

Two thumbs up for Troll Critic 3000! Where can I catch his future editions of critic review? Do I need expanded cable to get the channel?

Maybe I missed something, but it does not seem to me that Greg Sargent was agreeing with Rove that Obama thinks himself better then the rest of us. The use of the italics indicated to me that Greg was emphasizing that Rove is trying to push that idea.

Perhaps I am mistaken. Greg, perhaps you could clarify your intent?

Sincerely,

You know what is scary? More and more people are starting talk, very quietly mind you, about having a revolution. The results might be of benefit if our Constitution should survive intact, but I think more likely to be disastrous.

To be clear, I am not condoning this idea at this time. There has to be no other choice before I would agree. But I personally know some people who are talking about this as a real potential possibility. And I have encountered numerous anonymous people talking about it or just worrying about it online.
