Well, we know why Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT) voted "nay" Wednesday. " is not like putting burning coals on people's bodies. The person is in no real danger. The impact is psychological," he says.

And while Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has responded at length to explain why "enhanced interrogation" is OK when done by the CIA ....

4. Jeez - Does he do it for fun? Waterboarding that is!

[chknltl]

3. I like it!

How soon before he will he be ready for his waterboarding? Will it be on Fox? I have never been into watching anyone get tortured but if he says it's OK by him then I say the sooner the better!

5. ..and so are thumb screws, boiling oil down the throat and slow disembowelment

:wtf:

8. That's vaguely dissappointing

Not that I had a high opinion of John McCain before this but he was one of the few Republicans I didn't despise completely, largely for his stance on this issue (and a few other things).

Oh well.

9. If Obama was so anti-war in 2002, why did he support this pro-war candidate in 2006?

Obama accuses HRC of being unworthy because she voted for the 2002 IWR. Yet, four years later, he was out campaigning for Jomentum, the one Democrat who was trying hardest to PROLONG the war.

Does Obama have any real principles?

Or just real ambitions?
