Screw you, Yoo
What more can I say? Convoluted, conveniently reconstructionist legal arguments for BushCo totalitarianism don't pass muster.
It seems that a big part of the conservative stance on intellectual/academic freedom consists of pushing their fanciful bias as worthy of serious intellectual consideration. Someone can't wrap their brain around the expanding knowledge of the natural science of our physical existence therefore we must consider his notion of a cosmic fable as rational.
Same here; baroque legal excuses for the excesses of torture and totalitarianism don't merit consideration in American political science. 9-11 didn't change that.
But you gotta give these guys credit for trying. ¶ 12/26/2005 03:31:00 PM
