Jon Stewart does a brilliant segment on the multitude of ridiculous and offensive positions the Bush administration (including Mukasey, McConnell, Alberto, Hayden and Bush) has taken on torture, i.e.,: waterboarding.
It's not torture, it is torture, don't do it to me, we don't torture---it's classified---I can't discuss it---water goes up my nose--swim lessons---it's not appropriate for me to say if it's torture---we never torture---we only waterboarded three people...Will you investigate?---No.

Fratto: I don't think that's a question I can answer...
How do these people sleep at night? Outside of Bill O'Reilly, that is. He sleeps very well---especially after he's made a nice long phone call to one of his female employees. Text messages just wouldn't do.
