Yoo funnies

I was inspired by ripped off this Slate.com essay by Dahlia Lithwick to examine John "Bush-can-torture-anybody-including-you" Yoo's logic thusly...

John Yoo:
"I don't see how it can be reasonable to have an absolute prohibition on torture when you don't have an absolute prohibition on killing [in war]."

Or as a young John Yoo said when he was three (he was very bright then too):

"I don't see how it can be reasonable to have an absolute prohibition on allowing me to eat the rest of these cookies when you don't have an absolute prohibition on me staying up past my bed time!"


It's the "greater-power-includes-the-lesser-power analysis" and its hideously stupid. Go read the full article for a better picture.
