After a long and exhaustive article from the NY Times yesterday outlining how the administration, the Justice Department, and the CIA have gotten around the restriction on torture of prisoners, King George has said defiantly and definitely that "This government does not torture people. We stick to U.S. law and our international obligations."

I suspect that many people don't believe that statement. So how about this: we'll let King George submit to interrogation using the 'non-torture' techniques allowed under the Justice Department's guidelines, and we'll see how he feels about it afterward.

Remember the old line about how you can tell when a lawyer is lying?

George is a politician, and he sets new standards for lying - almost every time he opens his mouth.

"almost" here meaning "if word-like things come out" right?

I'm prettty sure that even when he's putting food in his pie-hole, he's still lying.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Also I have observed that the ends do not justify the means: the means *determine* the end.
