Gee, this title sort of has the ring of a Winnie the Pooh story, but that is definitely NOT what we are in for with Bush's new appointment to the post of Attorney General.
Just a reminder to all that a February 7, 2002 Justice Department memo, addressed to (and presumably requested by) White House Counsel Alberto Gonzalez, says torturing a suspect in captivity "may be justified" if the US government employee involved "would be doing so in order to prevent further attacks on the United States by the al-Qaeda terrorist network."
