A Clutch of Cowards
From McClatchy Newspapers:
However, the research shouldn't be about torture, cautioned John Hutson, a retired rear admiral and former judge advocate in the Navy…“Torture is the technique for the lazy, the stupid, the pseudo-tough,” Hutson said. “It’s not hard to do. What’s hard to do is rapport development, making the person want to talk and want to tell you the truth.”
That’s it, the word I’ve been looking for all this time to describe draft-dodgers and cheerleaders like Bush, Cheney, Addington, Feith, Abrams, Yoo, Libby, Bolton, Wolfowitz, Bybee and that whole crew of terrified bullies, all braying “Let’s you and him fight” from their corner offices.
Pseudo-tough.
