		<description>&lt;em&gt;But in reality, the White House refuses to even define torture.&lt;/em&gt;

***********************

Well, DUH!  That&#039;s because they want to give themselves as much leeway and as many options as they possibly can.  In short...(fill in the blank) is torture when other people do it, but not when we do it.  After all, we&#039;re the good guys -- remember?  Good guys could never possibly be capable, let alone guilty, of torture...right?

That &lt;em&gt;would&lt;/em&gt;, after all,  quite easily be another way to interpret Bush&#039;s statements that &quot;the United States does not torture&quot; -- especially considering the fact that Bush and Co. very clearly perceives the world in terms of extremes and absolutes, black and white with very few (if indeed any) shades of gray.  Perhaps all he really means is that the United States refuses to define or perceive anything that it might choose to do as being torture even if we would perceive and define it as torture when other people do it.  However, as Cheney himself once said, &quot;you can put lipstick on a pig -- but it&#039;s still a pig.&quot;</description>

		<description>Oh, and waterboard Dana Perino.  And Tony Snow.  The more, the merrier, eh?

And crap, while we&#039;re at it, waterboard every member of Congress, every aide, intern and staff person and all members of state government in every state.

Surely, once that&#039;s done, we could all agree on it?</description>

		<description>Waterboard Mukasey now.  Right in front of the committee.  On TV, even.

If he doesn&#039;t consider it torture, fine, at least he&#039;s taken a stand.  If he does consider it torture, fine, at least he&#039;s taken a stand.  If he still can&#039;t decide, however, then he&#039;s dumber than dirt and should not be Attorney General anyway.

And while we&#039;re at it, waterboard Bush, Cheney and anyone else who is not sure whether it&#039;s torture.  Since they don&#039;t consider it torture or don&#039;t know if it&#039;s torture, we should be able to get that cleared up by waterboarding anyone who is not sure.

Hell, I don&#039;t even know if it&#039;s torture.  I just keep reading that it is and that it isn&#039;t and that it might or might not be.  Therefore, I&#039;d love to see it done on TV to Mukasey, Bush and Cheney.  

Then I&#039;ll decide.</description>

		<description>The Democrats have made this easier for Bush and the GOP to spin by keeping the focus on torture techniques.  The crucial piece of information that came out of the hearings is Mukasey&#039;s comments placing the President above the law.  While it is certainly disgusting that Mukasey will not rule out torture techniques, the broader and thus more important issue is claiming that the President can disregard statutes (such as a statute outlawing torture) if the nation&#039;s security so dictates.  It is easy for the President and commentators to appeal to the public on the torture issue by scaring them.  It is at least slightly more difficult for them to spin the &quot;President is above the law&quot; issue.  Focusing on this issue would also force the President to either keep his mouth shut or comment on how he is above the law and try to explain that to the people.  Now we have given him an invitation to talk about how to handle a terrorist who has knowledge of an impending attack.  Viewers of &quot;24&quot; will easily buy into that.  But I believe that there are many out there who are not quite as open to a president, especially this President, acting like a war time dictator.</description>

		<description>Bartlebee,

Nice chatting along with you.    The problem is not just waterborading, it&#039;s the utter disfunction of our government. . . waterboarding is symptomatic, like telecom spying and Blackwater.

You hold your own.

Good night.</description>

		<description>Humm . . . I just got diverted from this site after posting a post that wasn&#039;t posted.

Repeat:

Back on point . . . 

Waterboarding is not re-hydration.  As a newly minted Juvenile Grad (thank you Mingolic) I&#039;m feeling fluffy and much wiser.

A dear friend just was called to serve in Iraq.  Of course I&#039;m concerned.  Waterboarding our enemies is a bad plan.  If we leave it as an option, why wouldn&#039;t our enemies employ the same tactics and worse?

Bush has trashed the Geneva Convention.  In doing so, he&#039;s put ourmen and women, not only in harm&#039;s way, but in jeopardy of unfathomable horrors.

Please, say a prayer.  Torture is not the American way.</description>

		<description>Bartlebee:

You&#039;ve never seen me accuse anyone of straying off-topic.  Unlike you, I don&#039;t demand of others that which I am unwilling to do myself.

I personally feel that the &quot;topic&quot; is always the restoration of our constitution, and I make efforts in as many ways as possible to display all that is broken, and lend context in order to help others identify how seemingly unrelated events, are in fact related.  Only by connecting the dots can Americans be made aware of how they are being manipulated.  You constant demand for brevity over factuality and context serves the purposes of the government psyops officers. 

I am merely pointing out that you do not practice that which you so rudely demand of others.</description>
