Good God, can't Bush hire an attorney general that doesn't obfuscate and hem and haw about torture?
This is like a breath of fresh air: Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples, the director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, testified to congress today on waterboarding. In typical military fashion - short, direct, clear answers. Paraphrasing:
Senator Levin: General, is waterboarding illegal under International Law?
General Maples: Yes, sir.
Senator Levin: Is waterboarding inhumane?
General Maples: Yes, sir.
Senator Levin: Do the (legal, non-torture) interogation methods in the Army Field manual give you all the tools you need to interrogate and collect intelligence?
General Maples: Sir, they do and we have confirmed that.

Why isn't Bush in jail?
