I just recently fnished reading AMINISTRATION OF TORTURE, or should I say I plowed my way through this interesting book, subtitle A Documentary Record from Washington to AUB GHRIAB and BEYOND, by Jameel Jaffer and Amrit Singh.

The people in the book use the same kind of convoluted logic that the United States Supreme Court used to elected geroge w. bush the first time. Not much to say about his second "election." I think those who use this convoluted hair-splitting are without doubt sick people and we have had a lot of them in the government of many moons, way before this present administration and the way things look now the trend will continue way beyond the present. This looks like a book I might want to read, but if I do I will order through my local independent bookseller, not any chains stores.
