"800 to 900 yards from the place where the ovens were, the prisoners were squeezed into little cars that ran on rails. In Auschwitz these cars had various dimensions and could hold up to 15 people. As soon as a car was loaded, it would be set in motion on an inclined plane that traveled at full speed down a corridor.

Yoo is a principle author of the now infamous torture memos, which paved the way for torture during the War on Terror. Among other legal maneuvers, he suggested a new legal definition of the word "severe" in order to "blur" the line between torture and intimidation

We have secret police, we just call it "undercover cops." We have brutal crackdowns on dissent, we just call it "riot control."

This Life cartoon depicts U.S. Army soldiers giving a Filipino man the "water cure," a euphemism now known as water boarding.
