"The official U.S. denials of torture continued until earlier this month when Bush acknowledged in an interview with ABC-TV that he knew about and approved �enhanced interrogation� of detainees, including �waterboarding� or simulated drowning."

Heretic can not read!

Bush Quote June 2004: "Look, I'm going to say it one more time. Maybe I can be more clear. The instructions went out to our people to adhere to law. That ought to comfort you. We're a nation of law. We adhere to laws. We have laws on the books.

"A nation of law". The United States, of course, signed onto the Geneva Conventions and, as a signatory, is fully bound by them because, according to Article 6 of the U.S. Constitution, "[A]ll Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land." It doesn't get any higher, does it? And that remains true no matter how many times our attorney-general designee and former overseer of a series of tortured legal documents meant to give the administration the ability to torture more or less at will, refers to the Conventions as "quaint" documents.

The plain & simple truth in this matter is you backed the Bush Administration saying torture didn't come from the White House or military command. U are unable to admit to your error.
