In the same way Attorney General Gonzales and John Yoo described the prorections against torture in the Geneva Convention as "quaint".

I would not find Joe's remarks offensive if he had made them in 1965, when there was a possibility his points still held true.

His whole speech seems like it's Oligarch's rubbing it in our faces that all of these cherished American principals ARE NO LONGER OPERATIVE.
