Torture wasn't invented by Bush. The School of Americas had it codified since the Sixties and everyone looked the other way then. Operation Condor, Honduras, wherever it was possible to refine the techniques. Where were people when it was already public? Shopping?
We've gone back to the Inquisition. The only thing missing is public autos da fe. But perhaps it's not part of the plan. It's a pleasure kick. Like shopping.
