I won't get a chance to watch
Countdown tonight, so I thought I would announce my own candidate for Worst Person in the World.
It was provided by John Yoo, and appears in this AP article.
John Yoo is currently a professor at University of California-Berkeley law. He was co-author, along with Jay Bybee, of the infamous Torture Memo (here's a great article by John Dean).
The AP article I linked concern the recent international polling on torture. Here is the money quote from Yoo:
"The debate is whether you can use interrogation methods that are short of torture," he said. "Some who have been critical of the Bush administration have confused torture with cruel, inhumane treatment."
...WHAT in the WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS?!?!?!?!?!?
Mr. Yoo, there is no confusion here. The problem is: torture IS cruel and inhumane treatment!!!
Whoops. I think my head just exploded.
