Torture is fun, fiction is real

This shit is real fucked up: Bush's cronies talk more about Jack Bauer than the constitution or, you know, law? Reality? Hrmm? Whozawhazzat? Right about seven years ago we should have had someone in the administration whisper: realism is real! Well, more real than this ideological nonsense the administration seems obsessed with, where they see a neat fiction ("torture works!" "we can fix people!") and think they can make it a reality. And then a whole bunch of real people get tortured and a whole lot more die as a result. Spoiled children with power.
