Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
Porn producer invokes the Bush/Yoo defense -- unsuccessfully Citizens who produce fictitious films depicting "humiliation" and "degradation" will be sent to prison. Government officials who do that in reality will be immunized.
  • The issue framing is fine.

    Another fine example of the degree of cognitive disconnect which infects America's collective psyche. "Make believe sadism" is incredibly amoral, dangerous and obscene thus illegal, but "actual violence and sadistic conduct" is a necessary (though not necessarily moral or effective) tool in combating "teh ebyl" forces that seek to destroy America thus moral and legal. Break out the magical ponies for everyone in Bush's ethical bizarro world. Sounds like Scalia logic.
