3. They're campaigning.
This will look good upon resumes and records.

So opportunistic.

Why isn't a ban on torture already a part of law,
as it should have been!!??

5. If so, I think it will backfire...
Freeps will be pretty pissed off if this goes through. It will look like
weakness from their beloved Chimp & Co.

And really, they don't mind the US using torture one bit.

6. It IS already part of several major laws.
They weaseled on the definition of torture and whether the Geneva Accords apply to their "enemy combatants."

4. Thank Christ
If it's true. I'll believe it when I see it, though.

7. That was my first thought, too.
At least now, there's a law on the books prohibiting these monsters from doing this kind of thing.

This must be torture for Cheney.
