Second, former Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee, who is now a federal appellate judge, once wrote a memo approving the use of torture as long as the torturer thought that there would be no long-term harm, the same day he wrote a memo that defined torture as techniques that would cause organ failure or death. So if you wanted to tie Judge Bybee down and tap his nuts with a hammer or clip the electrodes from a hand-cranked generator to his ears and then turn the crank a bit, be assured that you are not torturing him. You are only "vigorously interrogating"him.

The Fuckery of the Bush Administration
First off, he wants to use spy satellites to spy on Americans. Reichfuhrer Secretary Chertoff says that they'll protect our civil liberties, which is a statement that should result in alternating spells of hysterical laughter and vomiting, as the Department of Homeland Stupidity's sole real job is to pave the way for a police state.

Oh, for heaven's sake. Why don't they just lock us all up, tattoo us with numbers on our wrists and get it over with?
The worst thing we need to be protected from is THEM.

It's about Newsweek bothered to talk about the National Applications Office. Congress held a hearing about it in September 2007.
It makes me nervous that Jane Harmon is at the forefront of fighting it. She's no friend to civil liberties. She voted for FISA. More importantly, her constituents are Northrup Grumman, Raytheon, and Boeing, which tells me that when she says she knows the power of the satellites, that she means it - and for her to fight something that her most important constituents could make money from means it must be really bad.
