White House Tells Musharraf: Never ‘Restrict Constitutional Freedoms’ To Fight Terror

Q: Is it ever reasonable to restrict constitutional freedoms in the name of fighting terrorism?

MS. PERINO: In our opinion, no.


What about torturing people, including Americans, well that's ok according to a State Dept. official!


Fact: During the occupation of Japan, the U.S. prosecuted Japanese soldiers who waterboarded U.S. POWs


Oops! Fixed link!

18. "Never ‘Restrict Constitutional Freedoms’ To Fight Terror." And just what the blazes is bush doing
here if not exactly that. Perhaps not to the degree Musharaff did over the weekend. With Bush it has been a slower process ... but just wait and see. He has already given himself the authority to do just that if he wants to.
