Saying that, George Dubya, is like painting a "KICK ME" sign right across the forehead. I wonder how many "torture" stories are about to break in the next week now?

 

Stupid ass statement. Really stupid.

It's kind of a true statement. We just look the other way when other governments torture our suspects for us.

I had heard that they hired other people to do the torturing for us.

We do not torture, as long as you use the propogated in those memos by our current Attorney General...we probably don't "torture" people. Remember, according to those memos, it requires: "injury such as death, organ failure, or serious impairment of body functions—in order to constitute torture."

 

As long as people aren't dying (any more) at the hands of our interrogators, by those standards we aren't torturing them.

Hopefully promoting Addington to fill one of Scooter's shoes will make people take another look at these policies. Addington was the lead guy in turning Gonzales' legal opinions into policy. You'd think Cheney would have actually thought to distance himself from that, given that his "I [heart] CIA Torture" campaign seems not to be going over very well.

Rather than think what Cheney would have done had he been truly sane, perhaps it would be more informative to take the fact that Cheney did not distance himself from these policies as evidence that Cheney really and truly believes them.

You're probably right about that. Cheney is just a littttle bit out there on some of these policies.
