One of the unsung stories of the war crimes of this administration has been the resistance to them by so many within the government, proof that Americans have not forgotten who they are, even if the president has:

One bureau memorandum spoke of “torture techniques” used by military interrogators. Agents described seeing things like inmates handcuffed in a fetal position for up to 24 hours, left to defecate on themselves, intimidated by dogs, made to wear women’s underwear and subjected to strobe lights and extreme heat and cold.

Karl Rove has called these techniques torture when practised by our enemies. But not when authorized by his boss?
