Just finished watching the Big O's press conference. It's very troubling to continue to hear him refer to torture as a "technique". It's like saying that robbery is a technique for withdrawing money from a bank.
I'm starting to think that Barack is politicizing this issue-- if he thinks waterboarding is torture, then he ought to be consistent and refer to it as a crime and quite trying to pander to the right by using the term "technique". If you don't have the courage to call it what it is, then shut the fuck up about it, and let Eric Holder carry your water for you. And if Eric Holder doesn't have the balls to prosecute torture crimes, then we'll have to let Spain or The Hague take care of business.
