Executive Decision

Witness the awesome power of the executive office!

Today, the president signed an executive order prohibiting cruel and inhuman treatment, including humiliation or denigration of religious beliefs, in the detention and interrogation of terrorism suspects. I guess that means there won't be anymore cruel and inhuman treatment, including humiliation or denigration of religious beliefs, in the detention and interrogation of terrorism suspects.

Not that the US was doing that before.

By having somebody write an executive order to that end and signing his name to it, the president and his office, on behalf of the nation, are going on record to curb such actions.

And just like that, all such disdainful treatment has ceased.

With such amazing power, how's about a few more executive orders, maybe curtailing homelessness, poverty, and budget expenditures? Okay, one hurdle at a time. And they say he's a lame duck...
