re: #160 Killgore Trout

Ah, ok. He’s talking about international treaties. Also their caricature of unitary executive shows strong sings of BDS. There are serious and real issues to debate on this topic but it’s just silly to claim the evil Bush regime was planning to crush children’s testicles.


Yoo specifically endorsed the idea that the President had the inherent authority to order the torture of children if that could force their father to talk and was not bound by any treaty or domestic law under the doctrine of the “unitary executive”, and he was the man who wrote the memos allowing torture to happen.
