I finished reading The Dark Side by Jane Mayer, all 371 pages, including 31 pages of end notes and bibliography. Great book! And this is how it ends, “At a press conference soon after, on September 15, 2006, President Bush expressed puzzlement over what the Supreme Court meant when it ruled that the United States government must abide by the Geneva Conventions, laws that America itself had drafted and led the world in adopting sixty years before. Mocking the language of the Conventions, he asked, “What does that mean? ‘Outrages upon human dignity’?”” (Emphasis mine)
