Torture = Legal
Well, I propped McCain for finally standing up to this administration last week. Looks like I was a little too quick. We are going to legalize torture. The president’s response:
I had a single test for the pending legislation, and that’s this: Would the CIA operators tell me whether they could go forward with the program, that is a program to question detainees to be able to get information to protect the American people. I’m pleased to say that this agreement preserves the most single — most potent tool we have in protecting America and foiling terrorist attacks, and that is the CIA program to question the world’s most dangerous terrorists and to get their secrets.
I guess he will be just as pleased and delighted when our American troops are being tortured. This is a very dark day for this country. We have become the “evildoers.”
