Torture Judge Bybee has ..."regrets". . .

http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/07/16/sociopaths/index.html?source=newsletter

(Bybee) said he was "proud of our opinions" at the Office of Legal Counsel, too, calling them "well researched� and "very carefully written."

Still, he said the controversy surrounding his tenure there had been difficult.

"I have regrets because of the notoriety that this has brought me," he said. "It has imposed enormous pressures on me both professionally and personally. It has had an impact on my family. And I regret that, as a result of my government service, that that kind of attention has been visited on me and on my family."

I guess he'd "like his life back". . .

I hate these guys with the heat of a thousand suns...

5. It's that whole "don't open THAT can of worms" policy. .

It runs throughout the federal system... Unfortunately, if he pulls any one of thousand of threads... the whole stinkin' story will begin to spool-out before our eyes.

(to mix metaphors)
