Tweety is acting like McCain didn't allow Bush to torture people?

[NNN0LHI]

Doesn't Tweety know that Bush issued a ''signing statement" that allows torture and has no intention of following the law? I am sure McCain knows about it. Or is Tweety lying to us? I think he is lying again.

WASHINGTON -- When President Bush last week signed the bill outlawing the torture of detainees, he quietly reserved the right to bypass the law under his powers as commander in chief.

After approving the bill last Friday, Bush issued a ''signing statement" -- an official document in which a president lays out his interpretation of a new law -- declaring that he will view the interrogation limits in the context of his broader powers to protect national security. This means Bush believes he can waive the restrictions, the White House and legal specialists said.

''The executive branch shall construe in a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President . . . as Commander in Chief," Bush wrote, adding that this approach ''will assist in achieving the shared objective of the Congress and the President . . . of protecting the American people from further terrorist attacks."

Some legal specialists said yesterday that the president's signing statement, which was posted on the White House website but had gone unnoticed over the New Year's weekend, raises serious questions about whether he intends to follow the law.

2. Tweety lies.

And he has a case of penis envy. Ever notice how he fawns over men in power? Bush in his flight suit, for instance.
G. Gordon Liddy is probably still having orgasms over Bush's padded crotch.

3. oh you and your facts, always needing the truth, sheesh!

and yeah McCain must know about the signing statements but----it makes it look like he and Bush are far apart on this issue giving him some seperation from his boy.

4. This is what I heard last night on Frontline

regarding the NSA spying on all of us illegally: The executive branch shall construe in a manner consistent with the constitutional authority of the President . . . as Commander in Chief.

So essentially CiC means he can do anything!
