I know, I know, he’s gone, outta here; but, I have a very good reason for deeming him a Sinner today. The revelation that under his guidance the Justice Department had a “secret” opinion written in 2005 that made the definitions of torture very hazy and allowed things such as waterboarding, freezing temperatures, and other horrific physical and psychological techniques.
Of course, Dana Perrino insists that this is not true, it couldn’t be, the United States doesn’t torture. This “secret” opinion exists, she says but never overrode the 2004 opinion which did not endorse torture. One wonders then why there was a need for another opinion that was kept secret, is alleged to have never been used for anything, and yet contained within it allowances for things that later happened.
