How could the people judge the policy when the MBT administration was suppressing almost all information about it?

How could the people judge the policy when the MBT administration was suppressing almost all

information about it? There were no independent probes into the torture scandal during 2004. All the

investigators were under the thumb of the Pentagon. The investigations were designed to look only

downNIKE SHOXd”with no authority to pursue wrongdoing to the highest branches of the Pentagon and the

White House. The MBT team succeeded in delaying the vast majority of damning revelations until after he

was re-elected. Presumably, the public can approve atrocities even when the government deceives them

about the actual events.

Yoo reasons like a devious personal-injury lawyer”yet it is the rights of the American people that are

being run over. He is being feted by conservative foundations and think tanks, and often treated

deferentially by liberals, for a theory of presidential power that would make Hobbes proud.

Yoo believes Americans should presume that the government always has a good reason for violating the

law, even when it deceives the citizens about the reasoning. Yoo™s doctrines are absolutely unfit for

any system with a pretense of self-government.
