You're Killing Me

I love John's post below.

Here's what we need to do.

Every Democrat today needs to only focus on water boarding and why it's WRONG. Every soundbite needs to be, WE DON'T WANT TO BE A COUNTRY WHO TORTURES. Don't give the media anything else to work with except that we will not accept torture as part of our arsenal fighting the "war on terror".

For those of us who don't watch 24 we know that torture doesn't work. We know the Israeli's do not torture because anyone being tortured will tell you what ever it is you want to hear. More importantly, we also don't believe that you win the war if you become the people you are fighting.

I have to wonder how John McCain stays in the Republican party as a former POW who was tortured.

Why can't Mukasey say that water boarding is torture? Because if he does everyone who has been involved in the practice will be subject to prosecution for war crimes. The person who did it and the people above who ordered/approved it. Goes all the way up the chain to President Bush.

And loyal Republicans don't want to see Bush and Cheney on trial at the Hague so Mukasey has to lie. They are willing to give up who we as Americans are to protect those two Bozos.
