Andrew Sullivan last week wrote about The Executive Order on Torture. "I can't see how this offers any ambiguity with respect to waterboarding, hypothermia, sleep deprivation, and 'stress positions.' And yet the administration will not confirm that these are illegal. Why not? They say they want to keep detainees in the dark. But if we're in compliance with Geneva and the US Code, there's no darkness. There's legal clarity. At some point, you have to believe what the president says. But to be blunt: I don't believe a word out of his mouth on this subject."
