Days of infamy

The legislation, part of a measure authorizing the government's intelligence activities for 2008, had been approved a day earlier by the House and sent to the Senate for what was supposed to be final action. The bill would require the CIA to adhere to the Army's field manual on interrogation, which bans waterboarding, mock executions and other harsh interrogation methods.

When did torture become "harsh methods"? In my lifetime we've executed people for doing stuff like this. Now, according to Lindsay Graham (R-Ministry of Truth) it's become a "program" that is "lawful and helps the country." If we could rehabilitate Republicans that thoroughly we might even get ourselves out of this mess some day.
