My country tis of thee...

"In other words, Americans in any town of this country could constitutionally be hung from the ceiling naked, sleep deprived, water-boarded, and all the rest -- if the alleged national security justification was compelling. I did not believe our federal courts could reasonably be expected to agree with such a reading of the Constitution." -Phillip Zelikow former Bush Administration State Department Deputy

The rest of his post on FP mag is worth reading here. All evidence of his dissenting opinion was ordered shredded and destroyed by the Bush White House.

I'm hopeful there will be an independent, special prosecutor appointed by AG Holder and that it will be someone who is willing to take it all the way. While I don't think field opperatives for the CIA should be held responsible for following orders I do think the people who were responsible for bending our Constitution to serve their own personal agenda should be held accountable.

Starting right here....
