George W Bush is officially an admitted war criminal, terrorist & human rights violator...
Edited on Fri Mar-07-08 06:31 PM by Ghost in the Machine
It is now time to take back control of our government, by any means necessary. Our Constitution gives us, "We, The People", the unalienable right to cast off a corrupt government and start over. That time is here.

Bush to Veto Bill Banning Waterboarding
Published: 3/7/08, 6:06 PM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says President Bush will veto legislation on Saturday that would have barred the CIA from using waterboarding - a technique that simulates drowning - and other harsh interrogation methods on terror suspects.

Bush has said the bill would harm the government's ability to prevent future attacks. Supporters of the legislation argue that it preserves the United States' right to collect critical intelligence while boosting the country's moral standing abroad.

"The bill would take away one of the most valuable tools on the war on terror, the CIA program to detain and question key terrorist leaders and operatives," deputy White House press secretary Tony Fratto said Friday.

The bill would restrict the CIA to using only the 19 interrogation techniques listed in the Army field manual.

How many of you are really outraged enough to cast off this government? I know I've had all I can take.

5. It worked for Saddam Hussein!
He had Kurds trying to overthrow his government. He has shi'ites trying to assassinate him. Oh yeah, using torture is one of the reasons we bomb people for three days. You know at some point in time Bush has to quit justifying the actions and tactics of people we call "enemies." If not, at some point in time we're going to have to start officially calling Bush the enemy.

11. Do you seriously believe anything will happen?
Bush is going to be out of office in a few months anyway. Those in Congress who have gone along with him will, for the most part, still be there. Even if the White House changes parties in the upcoming election, how much change do you think there really will be? If stuff is made illegal, it will still be done, just out of sight and out of mind. This kind of crap has been going on since the beginning of time. :(
