The Washington Post: Protect Torturers!
The WaPo editorial board feels that torturers shouldn't be prosecuted - American torturers, that is. Because they were acting from the noblest of motives.

My comment:


Wow, I want to be a torturer! Because if I was, the whole Washington establishment and media hacks like Fred Hiatt and the WaPo editorial board would be falling ALL OVER themselves to praise and protect me!

Instead I have the misfortune to be a regular working-class American. So all I get is ignored by the wise men like Fred who tell us all that torture is really okay, in a noble cause.

Clearly, my parents led me astray when I was young. If only I'd known...I could have been a torturer!
