Lawyers. Dont' you just love them

One of the big things that offended me most about the Bush Administration was it's position on torture. Even now that crazy Darth Vader of Politics (Dick Cheny) is still defending a violation of Geneva Conventions and disregarding the Nuremberg Principles (You remember those don't you? You may have heard of them if you read some history.)

Well the progenitor's of the new American ethic were the likes of John Yoo and Jay Bybee (who is now an appellate court justice ( will Irony ever die?)). They have been under investigation by the U.S. Justice Department, now under the control of an Obama appointee. AS things would have it, they just gave a pass to any recriminations against those guys. I hope every body is happy with the new American Ethic.

I think this vindication of Crime shows how far the legal profession has fallen (if that is possible). I came across a quote about lawyers by a Professor of Law

"...Yale University law professor Jack M. Balkin summed up his thoughts in an online posting titled "Justice Department will not punish Yoo and Bybee because most lawyers are scum anyway."

Anyway that is my vent for the day

Dang these sins
