Drawn and quartered

If the CIA is sniffing around for a dangerously un-American population of soft-on-evil, morally confused, anti-rendition appeasers, it should wiretap cartoonists. Maybe even whisk a few of them off to Armbreakestan and apply a little creative persuasion. See if the pen is mightier than the thumbscrew or the iron maiden. Forget waterboarding. Apply the drawing board technique, or crow quills under the fingernails! I can imagine an entire Photoshop of horrors, but, hey, we’re such lily-livered softies, we’d tell interrogators anything they wanted to hear under threat of a simple paper cut. What use would that information be?
