13. That movie about Valerie Plame

... certainly argued that Cheney was frantic for evidence of WMD, no matter how valid, from the inception of the Iraq War, at exactly the same time the administration was pushing for these techniques to be put into place.

Can't see Bush / Rumsfeld / Cheney balking at manufacturing evidence via torture, which, incredibly, is even more vile and morally bankrupt than the still unsupportable rationale of using torture to get real information "to protect our families."

If we can't call this "evil," and cannot censure and punish it, we are utterly lost.
