What Happens When You Justify the Use of Torture?

You get your very own newspaper column!



John Yoo, the man whose twisted logic and complete lack of respect for human life or decency paved the way for torture scandals revealed and yet-to-be-found, has been rewarded by the Philadelphia Inquirer with his own op/ed column.

The Inquirer claims they were aiming for balance by adding a conservative voice to their opinion columnists, but this is either A) them covering their ass for a monumentally stupid decision, or B) proof that we as a nation have become evenly divided on the issue, to the point where the debate is now "torture is wrong" versus "sometimes you've got to crush a few testicles."

Either way, this is not a good sign for anyone...
