Sisyphus Shrugged – torture link dump

In the president’s beautiful mind, he didn’t order torture because he told the lawyers to make a legal finding that torture was ok and so they found that what we call torture is legal now but it isn’t called torture anymore because torture is still illegal. So the president followed the law.

And lots of people pitched in to make it all possible.
