I'm not sure if we will be in clover or not, but McCain and specifically and categorically renounces the use of all forms of torture, including the method of waterboarding. So does Ron Paul, I've recently been informed.
So Clinton's claim that she needs to get into office before she can really take a position seems specious to me, but if it floats your boat...
Anyone who believes that because of McCain's public and honorable rejection of torture he is superior to any Democratic candidate on this subject, should think again. As I wrote almost two years ago, "He tacked onto his "anti-torture" law, an amendment that forbids the federal courts to "interfere" with Guantanamo, with "enemy combatants" held for years without charges, and with "military tribunals" set up by an out-of-control President...Say goodbye to the Great Writ, say hello to the Red White and Blue Gulag, thanks to the cuddly, cute, "honest-sounding" McCain and his toadying. What will our country do when HE's President??"
Hillary Clinton has denounced this vile approach and voted against McCain's bill. She saw then, in 2006, how unAmerican it really was. It's all very well for him to repeat that "waterboarding is torture", but thanks to him no prisoner will get the chance to tell anyone in a court of law that he had been subjected to it.
MSM is now finally on to Obama's grandiose game. Let's hope the good folks in SC have seen the truth before they cast their vote.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
