"If we capture bin Laden tomorrow and we have to hold his head under water to find out when the next attack is going to happen, we ought to be able to do it." - Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee Peter KingI'm not sure if that's just a political comment, or if he actually believes it.
Lately we've seen the chimp-in-chief trying to redefine "torture". I've heard his spokesliar Tony Snow say, "what defines degrading treatment?"
It's all pretty simple to me. A culture truly is defined by how it treats it's prisoners. When the United States tortures people, it loses it's moral authority over the "terrorists". The fact that that view puts American servicemen in danger of torture merely reinforces my point that all those fuckers in the Bush administration should be put in prison.. for a very long time.
