Mischa writes to me:

It’s not illegal when the President’s advisors say it isn’t.

And then after, it’s retroactively still not illegal.

“It would be unfair to prosecute dedicated men and women working to protect America for conduct that was sanctioned in advance by the Justice Department.”

I can see how they want to avoid it being Abu Ghraib  — lock up some peons for the cameras, etc.  But when you think about that statement for a moment.  The Holderobama DoJ has just approved the Nuremberg Defense.

oh well, Befehl ist Befehl.
