Rising Hegemon
Fending off demands that he resign over the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld told Congress he had found a legal way to compensate Iraqi detainees who suffered "grievous and brutal abuse and cruelty at the hands of a few members of the United States armed forces."
"It's the right thing to do," Rumsfeld declared in 2004. "And it is my intention to see that we do."
Six years later, the U.S. Army is unable to document a single payment for prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib.
Emphasis on "the RIGHT thing to do."

In related news, my SF Chronicle this morning reported John Yoo has crawled out from under his rock and is scheduled to speak to Tea Partiers in tony Marin County soon.
Nice to know (a) they have no shame, and (b) the anti-gummint crew endorses gummint torture when aimed exclusively at brown people.
Neither the Right thing to do, nor what was not done, simply the way the RIGHT rants, raves, and evades responsibility for anything. vox
