No, it was always illegal!!!!!

This headline in the Times this morning absolutely kills me:
C.I.A. Chief Doubts Tactic to Interrogate Is Still Legal

What it should read is: "CIA chief falsely suggests waterboarding was legal five years ago."

I don't give a crap what the sadists at the OLC said about it, that shit was never legal, not least because it violated a fucking treaty that our nation is a fucking party to.

I hope Bush and Cheney live in fear of traveling outside the US for the rest of their lives and getting arrested for crimes against humanity. Actually, I'd prefer to skip to the end, and see them stand trial for crimes against humanity sooner rather than later.
