I'm disappointed. For years I have surmised that orders to torture terrorist suspects came to the CIA directly from the White House or at least Blair House. It turns out that the CIA came up with the idea and began implementing it on their own. Only later, after Tora Bora, when Abu Gharib was up and running, did they reveal what they were doing to the Bush team and ask for written authorization. That the Bush White House gave them the authorization with very little prompting doesn't soften the blow. It turns out that Condelezza Rice and John Ashcroft were the ones that made the decision to give written permission for the CIA to use torture as an interrogation technique. It's possible that by that time, Bush was already so out of it that nobody even told him or if they did, he really didn't understand.
It isn't enough for me that Bush is a retard. I need him to be an evil, torturing retard. And what about Cheney? Is he really nothing more than an irascible, old, face shooting cardiac?
I am disconsulate.
