5. by executive order the word torture is now replaced with...

"acts of naughtiness by very naughty people"

remember according to moron*, "we don't do torture", we just rephrase it to help us catapult the propaganda.

6. Funny how

every comment is spot on as what that means. Guess most are on to *'S little tricks.

7. If the Frat Boy declares the rack or the iron maiden aren't torture

. . . then interrogators are free to use the rack or the iron maiden on suspects.

Waterboarding was once used to make witches confess. But it's not torture because Bush says it isn't torture.

8. Bush hides behind his executive order as any dictator does, so he can now pretend that

his bullshit executive order is used only for good things...Complete bullshit and the republican owned corporate media will eat it up....And NOT a word will be spoken by these same media lapdogs on Bush's illegal use of executive order & "privilege"...Even, while using it most recently (this week) to keep Rove, Myers, etc. from testifying before legitimate congressional hearings.
