Here's the central point:

As detailed in the recent ABC News story on how top White House officials in the National Security Council discussed specific details of torture, the Bush Administration torture policy was determined by the NSC.

What ABC didn't mention is that Bush is the head of the National Security Counsel and the 2002 NSC decision memo in question, shown at the bottom of this post, signed by George W. Bush, establishes that Bush was in 2002 indeed doing his job as acting head and final decision maker of the National Security Council.

Bush was in the torture loop, as the decider. Indeed, it's his job. As president he's head of the NSC.

What's important now we have at least ONE signed memo which establishes George W. Bush as the executive authority making final decisions in the NSC process which established a United States run torture regime; the document shown at the bottom of this post.

Of course:

He's the decider.


READ THE REST HERE


THERE IS NO PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. I repeat, THERE IS NO PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY. IM-FUCKING-PEACH.

Though no matter what the case, he IS responsible, he is the head of the Executive Branch which is obviously in love with torture.. And of course their whole legal justification thing is completely incestuous, written by other members of the Executive Branch to conform to the fact that this demented little group running the country had already decided to torture people….

It’s reminiscent of the infamous comment of Nixon “Well if the president does it, it’s legal.” And he was a minor league crook compared to these people…
