re: #160 Killgore Trout

In an interview with Jon Stewart, Yoo rationalized why Bush should be allowed to electrocute a child’s testicles.

When Stewart asked Yoo whether the president could electrify someone’s testicles, Yoo knew how to answer the question — having previously implied that it would be okay for the president to order a child’s testicles crushed because, “it depends on why the president thinks he needs to do that.” This time he shook his head. No, no, never something so barbaric.

Are you trying to dodge his actual reasoning by pointing to his comment about treaties?
