The individual who testified before congress the other day said that water boarding one detainee yielded 12 positive leads and 8 more possible leads.

"The White House has threatened a veto."

One would think that if Bush was serious about the US not engaging in torture that he would be thrilled with this ban. I guess he''''s lying again. He said they don''''t torture however he won''''''''t approve of a ban on torture.

Waterboarding is unnecessary. It would be far more effective to make the subject listen to Bush mangling the english language. Over and over and over and over and over and over and over.

It has been learned that the Great Emperor has vetoed 6 bills this year from the Whimp-ocrat Congress while in the prior 6 years, he had vetoed on 1 (and no one remembers when that was!). It is expected that the Great Emperor Bush II will veto this coming bill as well, not because he really approves of torture (which he does), but because he loves to veto any kind of bill from the Whimp-ocrat Congress.

Vetoing such bills gives the Great Emperor a "rush" of confidence and supremecy and continually reinforces his claims of being "The Great Decider"!

Of course, one could argue that Adolph Hitler felt that way in Nazi Germany too, until the Red Army and Allies showed him different!

There is an old saying that bullies think they are the toughest there is, until someone shows up who is a lot tougher and doesn''t hesistant to knock them on their arse!

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

If Bush wants to veto it, I say fine go ahead, and don''t bring it up again this session, then he gets zero dollars to work with. Either that, or any type of treatment he wants to allow, he must endure first.

"I"m totally against torture except when it is used to know the truth. "--Posted by BaghdadsHere


Does that apply to Bushit?

If so, there will be a whole new meaning to the term "spanking the monkey"!

Re: "The House of Representatives on Thursday approved an intelligence bill that bans the Central Intelligence Agency from using waterboarding, mock executions and other harsh interrogation methods."

These activities constitute torture, and torturing people is already illegal, aside from being useless, counterproductive and subhuman.

Passing more laws criminalizing what is already illegal, is yet another futile act by our Congress. This action implies that these actions were somehow acceptable prior to this point. They were not.

Enforcement of the already established laws is what is called for here. Those who have conducted or have been complicit in these activities should be tried for these heinous crimes. I would support leniency for any suspect that provides evidence leading to the conviction of any of the Regime members or their stooges.

The CIA is largely an arm of corporate terrorism, and should be disbanded, with terrorists and traitors like George Tennet, George Bush Sr., and A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard tarred and feathered, and tried for their oversight of various terrorist operations.

No never you steaming pile of sh*it. NEVER. This is a legitimate question and the voices screaming at trash like you are going to blow your ear drums sky high.

So a law against something that was not technically illegal? What were the practices of the nazis? Visits to the former nazi concentration camps are gruesome eye openers.

How did the U.S. get in this place when 60 years ago the U.S. and the allied forces defeated the axis.

All of our current combat pilots get waterboarded in their training. More people are killed in Ted Kenndys car than die from waterboarding.
thanks jmho

What are we going to do with terrorist prisoners now, restrict them to "Time-Out" when they don''t tell us what we want?
This method has proven effective and has provided valuable information in a short amount of time. Our own soldiers go through this during specialized training.
How about put them in a room with a bunch of smelly, doosh-bag hippies trying to have us all just "get along" and the terrorists will come screaming to tell us everything in a matter of hours max.
