Boy, howdy. More evidence the torture started at the top.

"A Justice Department memo proposes that the United States hold others accountable for international laws on detainees—but that Washington did not have to follow them itself."

And the courts-martial of enlisted personnel, hoping to deflect responsibility from those who refuted the Geneva Convention and other human rights conventions, is a travesty.

Clearly, it started at the very top. And they put a prison in Guantanamo so as to be able to torture, they house people in third-world countries so as to be able to torture, and they bother to train guards in the Geneva Convention because it wasn't applicable.

What a mess. Imagine, America doing all this. Not France, not Germany, good ol' America.

Kinda breaks your heart. My heart.
