I reviewed her book a bit ago, you can buy it at Amazon.com here.

The terror argument she is given has some credibility due to the experience of her parents but it is still a question of defining what “torture” actually is. Before you go on about crossing the line it might be a good idea to know where the line actually is.

J.C. Watts had the line of the century so far.

Two generations from now the Hollywood crowd will be a bad nightmare that has faded away, but those generations will remember Val, because their parents will remind them that when the rich and connected forget them, he didn’t.
