'Enhanced interrogation techniques.'

Aah.

Sullivan:

Critics will no doubt say I am accusing the Bush administration of being Hitler. I'm not. There is no comparison between the political system in Germany in 1937 and the U.S. in 2007. What I am reporting is a simple empirical fact: the interrogation methods approved and defended by this president are not new. Many have been used in the past. The very phrase used by the president to describe torture-that-isn't-somehow-torture - "enhanced interrogation techniques" - is a term originally coined by the Nazis. The techniques are indistinguishable. The methods were clearly understood in 1948 as war-crimes. The punishment for them was death.

Kind of in the same vein...
One of the best beat downs by Keith Olbermann on Condi Rice, when she inaccurately attempted to compare Saddam to Hitler.
Worth the 7 minutes you'll spend watching it.
Go.
