I'm just sayin', they seem to be paving the way for all future presidents after yesterday's happy torture speech.

I know its a crime to torture people on our own soil, but its cool, cause all you have to do is send them to Gitmo as war criminals, and they can be tortured with impunity and the new easier to understand torture guidebook.

I'll just bet they have lots of handy dandy information to fight the global war on terror, and they don't seem like the type to just give it up without some torture.

1. I really think they would start blathering like idiots
as soon as they saw the handwriting on the wall. Besides the illegal part, torture really doesn't work according to what I understand. So I don't think it would be necessary.

2. No
The ends do not justify the means. That's the whole problem, the neocons do not understand (or accept) that.

All I gotta do is avoid organ failure? I can do that. I'll work cheap. I'm used to not having benefits, and I'd be happy to work ridiculous overtime......


EDIT: All right, I know it isn't nice. I promise to be really sorry afterwards. The world needs Santorum covered in bees, heh......

4. nothing too harsh, waterboarding, wearing panties on the head,
a little sleep deprivation and a little menacing by pit bulls while handcuffed. can you just see dubya squealing in protest of his own laws?

6. He'd cry like a baby.
And yes, I can see it. (sigh) (smile) Ah, that's better. Nothing like a little mental vacation.
