in the new york times story about the administration's secret authorization of torture, one sentence is particularly chilling: "with virtually no experience in interrogations, the CIA had constructed its program in a few harried months by consulting egyptian and saudi intelligence officials and copying soviet interrogation methods long used in training american servicemen to withstand capture."
copying tactics used by egypt, saudi arabia, and the former soviet union ... what does this say about our nation's trajectory?
lord have mercy.

although you were probably looking for "i think we're headed for exactly the type of dictatorship we say we have been fighting against."
