WE dont like our evil to be banal. If anyone deserves blame, it was promiscuous, sinister-looking lowlifes like Lynddie England, Charles Graner and the other grunts
Judge Bybees résumé tells us that he has four children and is both a Cubmaster for the Boy Scouts and a youth baseball and basketball coach. As an assistant attorney general, he was the author of the Aug. 1, 2002, memo endorsing in lengthy, prurient detail interrogation techniques like facial slap (insult slap) and insects placed in a confinement box. He proposed using 10 such techniques in some sort of escalating fashion, culminating with the waterboard, though not necessarily ending with this technique. As soon as Bybee gave the green light, torture followed: Zubaydah was waterboarded at least 83 times in August 2002 Unsurprisingly, it appears that no significant intelligence was gained by torturing this mentally ill Al-Qaeda functionary.
