Quote Of The Day: Sheldon Whitehouse

Sheldon Whitehouse, the Rhode Island Democratic senator chairing the hearings, on how the Bush administration's lies about how the torture program was approved:

"We were told that waterboarding was determined to be legal, but were not told how badly the law was ignored, bastardized and manipulated by the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel nor were we told how furiously government and military lawyers rejected the defective OLC opinions."

The blinking lights were there, Bush and Torture Inc. chose to ignore them.
