Crimes in pastels

Slate's handy guide to Bush administration lawbreaking -- including warrantless wiretapping and war crimes -- is the best use of a Venn diagram I've ever seen. Check out how the overlapping ovals show who was involved in which scandals -- and how former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was at the center of it all.

The work behind this pastel take on lawbreaking at the highest levels of U.S. government is based in part on the ACLU's release of memos about the Department of Justice's authorization of "enhanced" interrogation techniques, i.e. torture.
