I've said from the beginning of Bush's extreme policies that he was a war criminal. This review covers Bush and also Clinton and Obama. Since Bill and Obama have carried on Bush's deals. Nuf' said! Bush is a war criminal.

U.S. Engaged in Torture After 9/11, Review Concludes
By SCOTT SHANE
Published: April 16, 2013

WASHINGTON — A nonpartisan, independent review of interrogation and detention programs in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks concludes that “it is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture” and that the nation’s highest officials bore ultimate responsibility for it.

The sweeping, 577-page report says that while brutality has occurred in every American war, there never before had been “the kind of considered and detailed discussions that occurred after 9/11 directly involving a president and his top advisers on the wisdom, propriety and legality of inflicting pain and torment on some detainees in our custody.” The study, by an 11-member panel convened by the Constitution Project, a legal research and advocacy group, is to be released on Tuesday morning.

A quick review of their websit discloses that it is concerned only with liberal issues. No mention of property rights or economic freedom. A professed concern for the rule of law but no concern about its antithesis, judicial activism. An exaggerated concern for the rights of criminals, with little concern for the victims of crime. Not every group which calls itself bipartisan is such.
The Department of Justice concluded that some methods of interrogation pressure were justified to protect the country from further acts of terror. Much of the opposition was partisan, resulting in exaggerated definitions of torture. Are embarrassment and humiliation sufficiently tortuous to outweigh the need to obtain their knowledge of future terror? Waterboarding? Cultural insensitivity?
 
"total disregard of human rights" is another partisan exaggeration. And, most or all of the individuals involved were Caucasian. Your attempt characterize everything as race, is dishonest and bizarre.
 
Ben, why am I not surprised that you approve of torture?
 
Ben's not slipping, he has Slipped, present indicative.

No one approves of torture, but we disagree about the definition. For partisan purposes, the Democrats want to include embarrassment and humiliation, as well as cultural insensitivity.
 
So... it's not torture unless you say it is?

:rotflmao:

How DO you come up with this shit?
 
It's not torture, it's "enhanced interrogation techniques". ;)

Bushian newspeak.

And typical.

Actually, you can make a case for the fact that people who strap bombs on their children and send them off to kill themselves and others, are definitely NOT human.

Non-humans don't strap bombs onto their children Reardon. Only humans can.
 
Since "enhanced interrogation" helped get OBL

I guess Obama's # 1 success story is

Tainted

Pity
 
"In fact, torture led us away from Bin Laden. After Mr. Mohammed was waterboarded 183 times, he actually played down the importance of the courier who ultimately led us to Bin Laden. Numerous investigations, most recently a 6,300-page classified report by the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, have reached the same conclusion: enhanced interrogation didn’t work."
