Horrifying and Unnecessary

Jesus H Christ on the rack, but I wish that idiot would get captured and have these interrogation techniques used on him.

In the next few days President Bush is expected to again claim the right to order mistreatment of prisoners that any civilized person would regard as torture.

Mr. Bush is planning to veto a law that would require the C.I.A. and all the intelligence services to abide by the restrictions on holding and interrogating prisoners contained in the United States Army Field Manual. Mr. Bush says the Army rules are too restrictive.

The obvious question is why the US Army hates the US so much it would mollycoddle the fucking enemy.

And who are they trying to fool with that goddamn picture? Where the hell's the waterboard?
