Tortured Logic

This is something we should be asking Republicans now, before our kids are asking us?
Could they seriously want to go into an election as the 'torture party'? How easy is that to campaign against? Oh yeah, the Dems, they can mess up any election.
If they don't stand up to this, who of conscience would want either party?


I think most dads would have to say it's wrong kids and then would struggle to find a way to defend a government that condoned it?

Condi is not a parent. She's the Princess of Exxon. Like the environment, or the truth about any inconvenient issue, torture will also have to accommodate GOP goals.

There is only one goal of this complex Senate bill, to give amnesty to Bush on down for any future legal charges.

The amnesty would thereby become retroactive to the beginning of the abuses.






George should ask his favorite philosopher who he would torture?




The world no longer needs to wonder what American values are.

By the way, the original CIA leaks suggested 30-50 detainees were in secret foreign prisons. I haven't seen less than 27 quoted. So there are 14 now being added to Guantanamo. Where are the rest? Of course, at this stage of ethical erosion, why should we believe anything we're told anymore?
