Hey, look. I’ve been taggedby the brilliant counterinsurgency theorist-practitioners at Abu Muqawama with a meme! The name of the game is to find the book nearest you, open to page 123 and post the sixth, seventh and eighth sentences. For me, that would be Alfred W. McCoy’s A Question of Torture . Here goes:
Above all, [assistant attorney general Jay Bybee] had exposed CIA and military interrogators to possible criminal charges and certain international opprobrium. Washington’s original ratification of the UN antitorture convention, by exempting most forms of psychological torture, had already placed American interrogators, even when following the letter of U.S. law, at or beyond the bounds of international law. But now, by reaching his extraordinary definition of "severe pain," Bybee had, remarkably, breached many of the relevant military regulations — the Army field manual and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
