Looks like he is trying not to giggle.

U.S. President George W. Bush signs S. 3930, the Military Commissions Act of 2006, in the East Room of the White House in Washington October 17, 2006. The legislation sets standards for interrogating suspects, but through a complex set of rules that human rights groups say could allow harsh techniques bordering on torture, such as sleep deprivation and induced hypothermia.

What a sad, sad day for America. What makes it worse is his smarmy look and the clapping monkeys in the background - they have no shame.

2. Take that, America.
So much for the Constitution. It means nothing, and this bill proves it.



The Constitution is just a G*d damned piece of paper. I am the Dictator now.

10. Can this travesty ever be reversed? When we take over the
House and Senate, can our elected officials get rid of this heinous action upon our constitution?

13. Well if we must have torture
I suggest we use it on these folks first. After we get the information we need we can decide if the tool is effective. Where has our country gone? No words only tears. Peace on earth, Kim

14. Disgusting...
I really have not been this saddened, this depressed, than the day Kerry conceded. I feel sick to my stomach again. Very ill. This is most disheartening. Does anyone know if Democrats can reverse this, and if we can, will we?
