Torture Memo--it is ok when we do it

Hard to read about John Yoo's horrible legal justification for torture and not think that is the upshot--torture is fine if we do it overseas, and as long as it is not done with "malice or sadism." Anything done to protect the country from an attack is ok in that logic.

And I, as a liberal, am the relative moralist.

Sigh.
