who has put his considerable skills at the service of men of power.I repeat that the statement that you offer as proof of his condemnation of torture at Abu Ghraib fails the smell test.Instead, I see him weaseling his way out by saying that torture is acceptable if the President authorizes it.It bears repeating what Justice Robert Jackson said at Nuremberg that "Aggressive War is a Crime;torture of prisoners is a crime". There can be no quibbling or shades of gray on that matter.
