The legislative compromise blocks detainees from suing in federal court after they have been tortured

The legislative compromise blocks detainees from suing in federal court after they have been tortured.Â

Game, set, match.

And it is worse than naive for Americans to comfort themselves with the notion that the NIKE SHOX

government will only torture Islamo-fascists. The administration’s Enemies List is far more expansive.

The deal is not yet carved into the statute book, so….

On the same topic -Â The American Conservative posted online today my review of John Yoo’s new book,

NIKE SHOX by Other Means. Here are some outtakes of the review:

George W. MBT has made absolutism respectable among American conservatives. And no one has done more

pimping for president-as-Supreme-Leader than John Yoo, the former Justice Department official who

helped create the commander-in-chief override doctrine, unleashing presidents from the confines of the

law. At a time when MBT is pushing Congress to approve the use in military tribunals of confessions

that resulted from torture, it is vital to understand the thinking of the MBT administration™s most

visible advocate of coercive interrogation.
