White House: Policy forbids torture of all terror suspects---BULLSHIT
http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20051103/NEWS06/511030492/1012

WASHINGTON -- President Bush's directive banning the torture of terror suspects applies to all prisoners -- even if held in a secret prison reportedly set up by the CIA for its most important al-Qaida captives, a senior administration official said Wednesday.

National security adviser Stephen Hadley would not confirm or deny the existence of a secret, Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe that was described in a Washington Post account. The story said the facility was part of a covert prison system set up nearly four years ago.

Hadley said that "while we have to do what is necessary to defend the country against terrorist attacks and to win the war on terror, the president has been very clear that we're going to do that in a way that is consistent with our values."

Hey Europe! there's a "Mc Torture's" near you! drop by and give up your secrets under torture just like in the crusades! it's hip, it's now, it's kewl! forget all those silly hangups and give yourself a torture break today, have it your way at Mc Tortures!
........thank god, the president has restored honor and dignity and integrity and torture again!

1. Well then they shouldn't have a problem agreeing to codify it then.

Junior should have no problem then agreeing to the Senate bill that mandates minimum standards of treatment for prisoners, and forbids torture, if this is really his policy. But of course he has threatened hysterically to veto it and anything its attached to. So he is, as usual, being utterly and cravenly dishonest as always.

7. I know that's the hypocrisy of it all.
The geneva convention was supposed too work as a two way shield.
Everyday in everyway the administration finds a new way to disgust me. I mean do you remember when America was one of the good guys?

8. "do you remember when America was one of the good guys?"
Yes that ended in 2000 with a kangaroo court electing the president instead of the people electing one.

It wasn't broken but the 5 Justasses FIXED it anyway and it can Never be the same until justice is truly served.

The blood is every bit on the SCOTUS's greedy hands.

10. And RAPE ROOMS, RAPE ROOMS, RAPE ROOMS.
Edited on Thu Nov-03-05 07:04 AM by Hubert Flottz
And "MASS GRAVES, MASS GRAVES, MASS GRAVES!"

And MUSHROOM CLOUDS, MUSHROOM CLOUDS, MUSHROOM CLOUDS!

All Bush has done, is to create the "Whirlwind" for us to reap.

The people looking for answers GESTAPO style, are on "orders from GAWD!"

EDIT Bush needs to GROW UP, because you can't have your yellow cakes and eat it too.
