The Bush Six, like their Nazi counterparts, performed to order for an administration that wanted legal cover to do whatever it wanted with groups it had already deemed non-human.
THE BUSH 6:
Alberto Gonzales, former United States Attorney General;
John Yoo, of the Office of Legal Counsel;
Douglas Feith, former undersecretary of defense for policy;
William Haynes II, former general counsel for the Department of Defense (chief counsel for Donald Rumsfeld);
Jay Bybee, also at the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel; and
David Addington, former Chief of Staff to the Vice President of the United States (under Dick Cheney).
