Pimp My Intel

Indeed, a intricate knot to unravel. In the preface to a damning report on the treatment of Guantanamo detainees by a group called Physicians for Human Rights — which had examined and interviewed 11 former Guantanamo detainees freed without charges — [General Anthony] Taguba declared that there was no longer any doubt whatsoever that President George W. Bush and others in the White House had committed war crimes. "The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account," Taguba wrote. "The commander in chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture." I would take the best, the very best brains in the USA to try to answer this poser. Even then, they would be baffled. I prefer to think that the Right Honorable George W. Bush was not fully informed by the evil Cheney. Mr. Bush thought of torture in terms of "Pimping my Intel."
