New! Improved! Now With Less Torture!

Maureen Dowd in the New York Times:

The Associated Press headline that came over the wire yesterday said it all: “Gonzales Will Follow Non-Torture Policies.”

You know how bad the situation is when the president’s choice for attorney general has to formally pledge not to support torture anymore.

…

How are you to believe Mr. Gonzales when he says he’s through with torture? His mission is clearly to do whatever he thinks Mr. Bush wants.
