By Druthers, November 29, 2007 at 1:37 am # If it were not against my principles I’d be glad to “Waterboard” the former AG Ashcroft. Ashcroft, too fragile to bear the sight of a statue’s breast, is now, from the depth of his God fearing universe, prepared to endorse torture. He reveals his naked self more than the statue that he saw not as a work of art but as a temptation. If we accept this discussion about torture we enter the corridor that descends to that chamber.

And, as long as we are doing such a test, let’s ask him some questions about what information he might like to share on things like redacting, spying on Americans without warrants, etc.
