Although I'm asking about a political issue, I'm not looking for the political replies, I'm looking for the legal aspects of the issue.

Torture.

John Yoo and David Addington have written some opinions concerning the use of torture. They appear to be the broadest, and controversial opinions ever. They appear to give the President open ended authority to torture anyone he wants. (Again, I'm not looking for a political discussion of whether the President has this right.)

First - Just because a lawyer writes an opinion doesn't necessarily make it legal. The matter has to be adjudicated.

If a lawyer writes an opinion on something such as torture and the ruling goes against the lawyer's opinion, can the lawyer be held accountable and sent to prison? References?

Take this a step further.

If the lawyer's opinion is found to be wrong. Could the person using this opinion for justification for their actions then be held responsible? References?

Thanks.

....keep them for sentimental reasons? I was going through my contacts, and it reminded me of a cemetery. So sad to see old avatars like so many little tombstones. I just can't make my self delete them. I keep hoping someday Yahoo will have a fair review system and some may come back to life.

He won fame academy (i think it was that, maybe he didn't even win anything) and his first name was David. He brought out 1 or 2 songs and then you never heard of him again. He had a really smiley face. I remember something about him in a red car?

This is personal, and I appreciate your care in answering:
My GF and I have been together 3 years and usually have no problems in our sex life as a whole. It is healthy, fun and we are both content with each other's abilities and performance. However, she has always been very "shy" if that's the right word. Lights off during love-making sort of girl. She talks a lot about how uncomfortable she is with her body and stomach, even though she is 5'4" and 120 lbs, which seems very healthy to ME. I love her for who she is, but I thought she shared my sex drive when I first got into the relationship. She basically doesn't. Again, I know for a fact she has no issues with me or my performance, but I this self-image mentality is starting to affect our intimacy. Since we have sex less (from every other day to now twice a month), I have been going out of my mind! She tells me she WANTS to have more sex, badly, she just feels "not confident". Is this for real or is the issue something with me?

We lived in Phoenix a few times in the past. We moved out of it 2 months ago because the city is bigger and not what it used to be anymore. Im disppointed. And please give me good cities I could check into like San Antonio, TX or Charlotte, NC for example. We live in our hometown temporarily til we find our home.

My mac crashed and whenever I login as master it locks up so I created a new standard account. That works fine. I need my projects from the master into my standard and turn my standard as master and delete my old master. How would I do this?
