If Cheney's for torture, why not use it on Scooter?

I think this is a great idea, The writer of this piece thinks it was his idea but I though of it when Libby got busted and should further use it on the whole bush cabal.

If Cheney's for torture, why not use it on Scooter?

Here's an idea, and I can't believe I'm the first to come up with this modest proposal, but why doesn't the U.S. government just go ahead and torture Lewis "Scooter" Libby? And not just for that ridiculous name.


Some of you might find this position a bit extreme, but unless I'm reading the situation all wrong, this is exactly the sort of thing that Libby's boss, vice-president Dick Cheney, could get behind.

Just last week, Cheney met privately with Republican senators to make the case that the CIA should be exempted from any laws that would ban the use of torture on terror suspects.
