God Told George To Use Torture

[crowshadow]

McCain passes amendment to end torture of detainees; Bush threatens veto.

Army Field Manual's section on interrogation techniques:
The use of force, mental torture, threats, insults, or exposure to unpleasant and inhumane treatment of any kind is prohibited by law and is neither authorized nor condoned by the US Government. Experience indicates that the use of force is not necessary to gain the cooperation of sources for interrogation. Therefore, the use of force is a poor technique, as it yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection efforts, and can induce the source to say whatever he thinks the interrogator wants to hear.

I suppose if Bush had served during Viet Nam rather than deserting, he might know these rules.

1. We don't win the hearts & minds of other cultures

by torturing them. But W only cares about the $ flowing to his oil buds.

2. We are dealing with a sociopath

who has no respect for anything.

Can it really be another three years until he has to go?

5. George Washington Loves Bush But Dosen't Understand Him

Washington's Crossing by David Hackett Fischer
In New York, Washington had wept while watching through a spyglass as the British massacred Americans who had surrendered. But Washington, Fischer writes, "often reminded his men that they were an army of liberty and freedom, and that the rights of humanity for which they were fighting should extend even to their enemies." To the American officer in charge of 221 prisoners taken at Princeton, Washington said, "Treat them with humanity, and let them have no reason to complain of our copying the brutal example of the British army in their treatment of our unfortunate brethren."
