Official US Torture Memo (not an April Fool's Joke unfortunately...)

John Yoo: Torture is self defense.

Torture was approved in the US in 2003.

Torture was approved in the US in 2003 and CNN is running stories about April Fools Jokes? Talking Points Memo, at least, is on it.

According to the US Justice Department torturing prisoners is an acceptable form of self-defense, unless you defend yourself to the point where "it shocks the conscience".

I guess he meant if it shocked the conscience to the point of the conscience's major organs failing. Or does it mean desecrating the shattered corpses or something?

I guess we can safely ignore any holier-than-thou bullshit from our American friends from now on, eh?
