A Fish Stinks From The Head

A document released for the first time today by the American Civil Liberties Union suggests that President Bush issued an Executive Order authorizing the use of inhumane interrogation methods against detainees in Iraq.

See the ACLU for details.

Shocked. Shocked, I say. I guess it rolls downhill, but it has to start somewhere.

[Update: It says “today” in the quote, but this is actually from Dec 20, 2004. Just in case that wasn’t clear.]
[Update 2: The WH has denied that the order exists.]
