Bush sanctioned Geneva exception

You know it's bad enough that this August 2002 memo condones the torture of prisoners. Even worse is the fact that the author is Assistant Attorney General Jay Bybee.

Bush was so dismayed at this guy's position on war crimes that he nominated Bybee as a new Justice on the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Democrats fought it and the Republican Senators approved him. THIS is the sort of lifetime appointments you get from Bush.

yay.
