      That Karl Rove takes pride in the techniques that were employed to extract information from those we’ve suspected of “terrorism” is reason enough to try and execute him in precisely the same way we tried and executed Japanese soldiers that used them on our men in WWII. And that Rove can feel comfort in making such a statement publically is both a moral verdict rendered on our ruling class and its phony posturing about the rule of law and the fetid sewer that has become the life outlook of a significant number of Americans. The blot of torture on our nation will never be expunged until each and every one of the bacteria responsible for it either efficiently or complicity in both the Obama and Bush administrations is detained, interrogated, publically tried and sentenced.
