Getting to Know John McCain
By KARL ROVE
April 30, 2008; Wall Street Journal - Page A17 - paragraph 10


"Another McCain story, somewhat better known, is about the Vietnamese practice of torturing him by tying his head between his ankles with his arms behind him, and then leaving him for hours."


So ROVE ADMITS that putting prisoners in stress positions IS torture?

President Authorized Abu Ghraib Torture, FBI Email Says
by NewStandard Staff

The specific methods mentioned in the email as having been approved by the unnamed Executive Order and witnessed by FBI agents include sleep deprivation, placing hoods over prisoners? heads, the use of loud music for sensory overload, stripping detainees naked, forcing captives to stand in so-called "stress positions," and the employment of work dogs. One of the more horrifying tools of intimidation, Army canines were used at the prison to terrorize inmates, as depicted in photos taken inside Abu Ghraib.

1. You Either Impeach (Then Prosecute) Torturers/War Criminals Or You Become One
Rove has made his choice.

McCain has become what he was once a symbol of opposition to.

DC Dems ?!?

Don't follow them into infamy.
