Today (December 10) is Human Rights Day. This is a U.N. sponsored holiday, so Republicans may feel free to celebrate it by torturing somebody the Attorney General thinks the Geneva conventions do not apply to.

For conservatives who have yet to figure out how this works, Kofi Annan (like Rumsfeld and Bush) did not resign in shame when his people got caught doing wrong, and since The U.N. under doesn't sponsor unprovoked war this undermines any and all credibility on any stance the U.N. may take on any international issue.
