as if this wasnt torture enough…
Waterboarding might sound like a great weekend activity. Take the kids to the lake and spend the day boating and waterboarding. However, it is my duty to inform you that it was actually used by the CIA to torture detainees suspected of terrorism or having connections to Al Qaeda. Now, before cheering and throwing your hands in the air in support of torturing Al Qaeda suspects, let me remind you that Bush has the Department of Justice in his pocket.
Alberto Gonzales said that he “did not recall” incidents/questions that were asked of him at the Senate Judiciary Committee 72 times. Gonzo resigned his position and lawyers everywhere cheered because he was making them all look bad after winning Lawyer of the Year by TIME. In a perfect world, we all have unalienable rights that the government can’t intrude and we all get to go through something called a judicial system before being punished for crimes. Waterboarding is torture by definition, and by poll questionaires- which is truly how we judge the system. Conservatives are supposed to support smaller government control, less spending, etc. Then why the hell do they elect presidents that invade our rights, lie to us, goto wars where we don’t belong, and waste our money? Then again, this guy puts up a pretty good argument for torture…
