Interesting du Jour

It seems to me that the people who are pro-torture are also the ones who most vociferously fetishize the troops. Surely this is some sort of cruel paradox; can you think of a single worse thing that can happen to troops serving in hostile territory than last week’s torture report?

Of course they’d also set a precedent in that the same people are the ones who are always clamoring to put the troops in harm’s way in the first place, so. Curious.
