Last Sunday, the disingenuous and discredited (but still happily employed) torture supporter John Yoo wrote an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he bashed the Department of Justice for leading a "farce" of an ethics investigation that examined his role in authoring the infamous torture memos.

Only problem is, he let a tiny little detail slip into the second paragraph (emphasis mine):

The Justice Department's internal ethics watchdog, known as the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), has waged a witch-hunt against Bush administration lawyers who developed policies to protect the nation after Sept. 11.  OPR lawyers -- and the Obama administration -- disagreed with the policy choices made by President Bush on the detention and interrogation of terrorists.  But instead of arguing against those policies honestly and openly, they decided to fight them under the pretext of a cooked-up ethics investigation.
