Rubio, Jeb, and Graham Insist -- More Torture NOW

[GoLeft TV]

Last week, the Senate finally voted to outlaw the use of torture. This was a largely symbolic vote considering the fact that torture has always been illegal for the United States due to our agreements in international treaties, but it does signal an end to the era of the CIA’s torture practices that Bush implemented during his war on terror.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

1. This was a completely predictable result of not prosecuting Bush & Co for war crimes. nt

If it was a-ok for Bush & Co to torture, then it leaves door completely open for this kind of nonsense from future GOP & other presidents.

Gee thanks Obama.

2. Three Evil Clowns

Its difficult to believe that they are the best the Republican Party has.
They make Goldwater seem positively rational.
It will be tragic if any of these fascist boobs penetrate the White House.

3. Pro-torture types think it makes them look tough....

They don't care about getting "actionable intelligence" (to stop the hypothetical nuke from going off) or even false confessions (which is all torture gets you).

They think it makes them look tough.

The sad thing is IT DOES to their base of idiots who think Kiefer Sutherland should be the head of the CIA.

4. GOP-Extremist representing We The People publicly announcing that they are above the law and

treaties of the United States of America. In my opinion, the vote was symbolic of having their finger on the Button, as American lives mean nothing to them. In my opinion, they are embolden by a small net bomb Nuclear Warfare Plan of retaliation, like in a set-up October Surprise. Keep in mind the radioactive particles that have been already seeded in Iraq, over the past few decades.
