Travis Clark pointed out to me that Marvel.com has declared this to be X-Factor week, with a variety of features and such about stuff that’s going to be happening in the book. You’d think I’d have realized this considering I did an interview for it; shows how much attention I’m paying to the world.
Anyway, feel free to check it out.

He had to. There was no choice.
Why?
Because if he had signed the ban, then he would have been tacitly admitting that the practice was wrong. And Bush is psychologically incapable of admitting that anything he does, or that he endorses, is wrong.
The bottom line is that if the United States is going to preach high morality and ethics at other countries, then we must have clean hands. And as long as this country supports torture for any reason, then our hands are filthy.
I have no doubt that if, a year from now, a similar bill lands on Clinton or Obama’s presidential desk, they’d sign it. What I’d be curious to know is if John McCain, who knows a thing or two about torture himself, would veto it. See, on the one hand, he talks a good game about deploring torture…but on the other hand, he voted against the bill. It’s a duplicity that his opponents should be trying to highlight.
