Gentle Torturer
The New York Times > Washington > Author of '02 Memo on Torture: 'Gentle' Soul for a Harsh Topic
In an article devoted to letting Jay S. Bybee off the hook for his views advocating wide discretion on the part of the government in the torture of prisoners, the New York Times comments:
"He has a kazoo collection," said N. Gregory Smith, a former colleague on the law faculty at Louisiana State. "He'd get a little ensemble of kazoo enthusiasts together and play. They would occasionally perform the `1812' Overture."
And this is supposed to show that he doesn't believe in torture?
