Last year, Jay S. Bybee hosted dinner for 35 at a Las Vegas restaurant...And then, according to two of his guests, Bybee added that he wished he could say (positive things) about his previous position..."

So begins this WaPo attempt to put a face on one of the writers of torture memos, a Brigham Young University law graduate.

"On the primary memo, ... he just felt it got away from him. . ."

Bybee: a tortured soul?

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth's laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs""as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
