It appears that there is no limit to our hypocrisy on torture. While blocking any criminal investigation or prosecution of American officials for our torture program, the Obama Administration is demanding to question the Sri Lanken Army Chief Sarath Fonseka over allegations of the torture in Sri Lanka.

After all, we cannot allow torture to go unpunished — so long as it is not an American official.

All apologies to the Smothers Bros., from whom I “liberated” that joke.
