the united states does not torture. george w bush assured us it was true even as the truth was leaking out. now that obama has released the memos describing the techniques dubya and darth cheney allowed, the idiotic republicans are crying about these techniques being ruined (rove) and mongering fear. some people argue that this is the kind of stuff the public just shouldn't know about. idiots. turns out, we were torturing even before cheney had the justice department change the rules. (that link is to an incredible article)
when our troops were subjected to waterboarding in WWII we were aghast. we modeled the correct behavior by waterboarding a guy 183 times in ONE month. the only humor in this moment is the right's overreaction about releasing this information while saying nothing about what officials and American soldiers were doing. these techniques only "uncover" false confessions and promote hatred of this country among extremists, thus creating more terrorists, not winning this endless war on terr. i think we should prosecute every one of them.
republicans (especially dick cheney) need to just shut up and go back to what they do best, teabagging
vent closed.
