Okay.  Let me get this straight … if Person A asks Lawyer B (not technically a person) to find a work around the Geneva Convention to justify what every non-wingnut agrees is torture, how is that criminalizing legal advice?  The lawyers are not the only ones culpable in this—but they should not be exempt from responsibility.  One look at the Geneva Convention and they would have known the score.  Instead, they chose to get cute with semantics to permit the grotesque.  To suggest they didn’t understand what they were doing is laughable.

Maybe Obama should have punched Chavez in the face.   If Newt was in charge, Hugo would sooooo not be invited to the rollerskating party Friday night and would totally have to sit at a different table at lunch and he better just forget about getting friended on Facebook.  As if.

UPDATE: More stupidity here and some actual context beyond the handshake here.

… because he is appealing so this isn’t over yet.  Gah!

… to the question posed by Jay Cost at RealClearPolitics.  It’s like when Person A is worried about whether or not Person B is ever going to talk to them again but does zippity-do-da about it except complain to Persons C, D and E.

oh wait … he’s the Bush appointed Defense Secretary.  Oops.

Glad this policy changed.  It’s time the families decided how to properly honor their service and mourn their passing.

UPDATE: The first photographs from the Air Force are here.  Why couldn’t we see this before?  Real people are fighting and dying and coming home under the cover of their flag. Our flag.  This war belongs to all of us whether we like it or not.
