I wonder if any of the armchair homeland security experts who moralize over the so-called "torture memos" have actually read them. If they did they would find that there are no instances of actual torture in them.
If putting a caterpillar in the cell of an insect-phobic terror suspect constitutes torture, then we might as well raise the white flag now. As far as waterboarding, it turns out that this relatively mild tactic was practiced only a few times on one of the most heinous terror masterminds.
This is all about hating Bush, which is a tired act among the hand-wringing class. One has to admit that in 8 years the former president must have done a few things right. One of them was preventing unthinkably horrible sequels to 9-11.
