Karl Rove Endorses Torture in Just 140 Characters

This is where the Republican party is now. Karl Rove’s latest Tweet is this:

Precautions taken 2 guarantee compliance w/ federal prohibition on torture. U might characterize diligence as overcautious.

Got that? A – highly questionable! – “compliance” with anti-torture statutes was “over-cautious”. That is, it was mistakes were made in trying to comply with, you know, the law. As I say, these people damn themselves with their own proud confessions.

And sometimes they only need 140 characters with which to do it.
