Remember that whole big legal debate we were having last month about water-boarding? Remember when we were trying to understand why Michael Mukasey wouldn’t just come out and say water-boarding is torture? Remember when everyone thought the Bush administration was just trying to provide legal cover for the torturers???
Wrong. Why provide legal cover for the torturers if you can just destroy the evidence?
