Special Comment: Conspiracy of Torture

Keith Olbermann closed Countdown yesterday with another scathing indictment (transcript) of the Bush Administration. An administration that seems to know no ends of its depravity.

This special comment was triggered by recent revelation that Bush fired Daniel Levin for daring to disagree with him on American policy regarding torture. Levin was Justice Department official assigned with determining Bush Admins policy on torture. He decided that first hand knowledge would be helpful and experienced Waterboarding first hand. From that experience he declared it a form of torture, very much contrary to Bush's stance on it. For daring to disagree and not do what all other Bush minions do by simply regurgitating Bush's current opinion regardless of consequence or if its good for the nation. As has consistently been the case, for Bush the only thing that matters is what Bush's wants and the nation be damned.
