Jon Stewart is Edward R. Murrow
This is the smartest thing I've seen on television (*) in many months. And to find it within the context of "comedy" is truly mind-bending. An actual in-depth interview with John Yoo, the author of the legal documents which rationalized the use of torture as a means to an end in a "time of war". It really makes one wonder why the only place where he could find a fair audience was a comedy news review show. Either he's doing something really wrong (he is) or they are doing something really right (they are).

(*) Never mind that I didn't watch it on TV, since one can only find the eviscerating full-length interview online.
