Coming Attractions

This is just one example of what we are in for over the next decade. The behavior of the Bush administration has been bad enough in public. Just wait until it all comes out later:

The New York Times leads with word that when Alberto Gonzales was attorney general, the Justice Department issued secret opinions that authorized the CIA to use extremely harsh and brutal interrogation tactics when questioning terror suspects. The first opinion, which came soon after Gonzales took on the job, was issued two months after the Justice Department had publicly issued a statement saying that "torture is abhorrent." Then, while Congress was considering legislation to outlaw torture, the department issued another secret opinion saying that the standard imposed by lawmakers would not force the CIA to change any of its tactics.

Wait until Bush leaves office and the risks of revelation go down.
