The New York Times editorial page on how to deal with Bybee:
[The torture] memos make it clear that Judge Bybee is unfit for a job that requires legal judgment and a respect for the Constitution. Congress should impeach him.As Maddow points out in her piece, Bybee authorized torture techniques pulled directly out of "Room 101" in George Orwell's 1984. His memo recognized a wicked fear on the part of the accused and then authorized use of that fear against the prisoner.
Extremely high with their hold on power, the Bush administration ignored the fact that their methods of "interrogation" would yield no usable information. When confronted with mind-numbing, debilitating torture, any prisoner will do anything to escape it - including telling his captors anything they want to hear. Overwhelmingly the information they volunteer is false.
Bush, Cheney, and Bybee wiped their asses with international law and the Constitution. And while I agree whole-heartedly that Bybee should impeached, I say go much further. Charge him with war crimes.
