Outsourcing torture

MSNBC: President Bush backs "rendering" suspects - then backs off

The Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, who was playing cat's-paw to the White House on this one, isn't pleased. His spokesman said, "For whatever reason, the White House has decided they don't want to take this on because they're afraid of the political implications."

That's right. The Speaker's guy just called the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, a liar and a coward. Doesn't that sort of thing embolden our enemies? After all, you can't rally the troops with mixed messages.

But the Speaker of the House isn't backing away from it.

...hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
