Cenk Uygur got an absolutely damning video of Condi Rice channeling Richard Nixon. After denying she "authorized" torture–she just conveyed policy authorization to the agency, but I’m sure that authorization had a virgin birth before that–she explained that if the President authorized it, then it couldn’t violate the Convention Against Torture.
By definition, if it was authorized by the President, it did not violate our obligations in the Convention Against Torture.
By definition, I think Condi’s future just dimmed considerably.
