I can't support Hillary in the primaries because she doesn't understand torture.

Bill started the renditions and handed the system over to George. Hillary has been too vague in her answers about torture; condemning it one day and fiddling with the definitions or making allowances for special circumstances the next. I wrote letters for Amnesty International all through the Reagen era. He sent American money to help finance the people who tortured thousands in Central and South America. If you're willing to torture people to get information, how much easier to lie to the American people about that information!

people about that information!"

^ this!

2. Hillary does understand torture....

She can hear the sound of her own voice, can't she?

4. How old are you? Are you not able to discuss this issue in an adult way, without attacking her

personally?

16. Grow up.

3. I honestly believe that if people watched a clip of waterboarding, they would

reconsider their views. This goes for the President on down -- all the Dems and Repugs, and every citizen in the U.S. who thinks it's okay.

5. I understood that Bill was about to say no when Gore pushed him to say OK to the renditions -

I wonder if Gore regrets that use of his influence.

6. It's really sad when people have to lie to try to make a political point. What happened to letting

the facts speak for themselves?

8. They really don't care about their country.

9. Hillary is going to be 60. She should have formed an opinion on this long ago.

The NY Post likes her stand:

7. It All Depends On What The Definition Of "Is" Is

Sigh.

[durrrty libby]

10. She understands and denounces. You are the one drowning in ignorance

[illinoisprogressive]

11. Unfortunately her triangulating on the subject leaves people to wonder her real feelings

[durrrty libby]

15. Your words have no meaning

For those DUers who disengenuously state that Hillary Clinton doesn't "understand torture."

I thought you might want to let the facts guide you here.....so here you go.

Duck and cover!
