Quote of the Week: The Judgement of History

–then U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, quoted during a 2004 White House briefing during which CIA interrogation methods were graphically described. According to The Washington Post, the Bush administration issued a pair of secret memos to the CIA in 2003 and 2004 that explicitly endorsed the agency's use of interrogation techniques such as waterboarding against al Qaeda suspects.

I would only add that our nation is ultimately answerable not to history, but to Jesus Christ, the crucified (tortured) Messiah.
