The very phrase used by the President to describe torture-that-isn't-somehow-torture - "enhanced interrogation techniques" - is a term originally coined by the Nazis. The techniques are indistinguishable. The methods were clearly understood in 1948 as war-crimes. The punishment for them was death.-Andrew Sullivan, telling it like it is.
As far as I'm concerned, the torture issue more than meets the threshold with which to impeach Mr. Bush and Vice-President Cheney. And following their removal from office, the International War Crimes Tribunal should indeed put them on trial for war crimes. A guilty verdict by that body - and the subsequent punishment - may be the only way to kill the empirical fascism that has taken hold of the presidency under this administration.
