Marc Thiessen: Defending Human Torture With A Lie
Marc Thiessen, who from 2001-2004 was Chief Speechwriter for Donald Rumsfeld, and from 2004-2009 was a speechwriter for the Bush White House, has since Obama's inauguration, been a vociferous defender of human torture, even going so far as to claim that Americans who tortured are American Heros. More recently, while attempting to discredit a Washington Post article about torture's counter-productive effects in an article published at National Review Online, Thiessen rested on a false allegation previously promoted by the Bush Administration which had been thoroughly discredited.
