If Haynes casually concluded, without
explanation, and in the midst of a torrent of military lawyers telling
him that the conduct would be illegal, that the techniques did not
violate any of those legal restrictions, even though many of those
techniques plainly do violate some of those legal restrictions, and
where few, if any, of the techniques is "humane" -- well, in that case,
William Haynes is the least responsible and least competent attorney in
the history of the Executive Branch.
And yet that is the account to which Haynes testified yesterday.
