Torture U.
May 09, 2005
fter Attorney General Gonzalez dismissed much of Abu Ghraib as "falling short of the legal definition of torture" as an invited speaker of Houston Community College, HCC teacher/blogger Jaye writes: "Say this out loud. Torture by the United States of America is permissible because we were attacked on 9/11. We are not supposed to torture American suspects in state custody and we sure as hell don't want our boys and girls tortured. Torturing any foreign people in our custody is permissible under the Bill of Rights. Now say it in your head while you tell graduates to aim high, to 'Go for it.'" (Come and Take it!)
