Another Early April Fool's Day Joke

I am truly amazed by this administration. Here's the latest practical joke that curious george and his squadron of flying monkeys are perpetrating on the American public;

First: Torture someone until you are satisfied that he or she has coughed up the desired information.

Second: Tell the torturee that torture is a state secret so they can't tell anybody about it, not even his or her attorney.

Third: Tell the judge presiding over your war crimes trial that you were obeying the law.

So you ask; What am I talking about?

The Bush administration has told a federal judge that terrorism suspects held in secret CIA prisons should not be allowed to reveal details of the "alternative interrogation methods" that their captors used to get them to talk.

The government says in new court filings that those interrogation methods are now among the nation's most sensitive national security secrets and that their release -- even to the detainees' own attorneys -- "could reasonably be expected to cause extremely grave damage." Terrorists could use the information to train in counter-interrogation techniques and foil government efforts to elicit information about their methods and plots, according to government documents submitted to U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton on Oct. 26.
