Here is “what’s so startling about that,” according to Froomkin: “If you consider what the government did to be torture, which is a crime according to U.S. and international law, Bush’s statement shifts his role from being an accessory after the fact to being part of a conspiracy to commit.”

1. Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh......

This is what has been making the rest of the world wonder why the man hasn't been impeached.....alternatively, why isn't he being sent to the Hague?

2. D'oh! Noone else in the USG can authorize such actions. It is either a Bush crime

or a crime for lack of presidential authority.

This is rather straight forward. The very act is so illegal,
there is no question about how high the decision tree rises.
Only Bush can even be the Decider on this one.

3. America is on to the war criminal.

Can't wait for there to be a Department of Justice, again.
