otto: i doubt you'd know intellectual honesty if it it spit in your face. what your "context" thing is about is repeating the framing of torture used by the bush administration, and amounts to what the bush administration argument really was: that it is ok for the united states to itself become the kind of organization that it supposedly opposes on "moral"grounds--you know, those tiresome fictions that appeal to conservatives, that nationalist circle jerk that makes conservatives come alive. so not only does your position throw ethics out the window, but it also makes the rule of law optional---even as the nationalist circle-jerk enables folk like you imagine themselves to be above all that.

i think that's funny.
you seem attuned to jokes, otto: don't you think that's funny?
