King of Pain: why is Mr. Bush so determined to engage in torture?
Paul Krugman asks, "Why is Mr. Bush so determined to engage in torture?" While George Packer writes, "he reassured the world that the United States doesn't torture prisoners in these 'black sites,' while essentially reserving the right to continue to do so. He simultaneously played the good cop and the bad cop, the principled advocate of the Geneva Conventions and the hardboiled defender of 'an alternative set of procedures.'" FYI: a timeline of wartime detention systems is included.
