"John McCain was tortured... We do not torture" (Fran Townsend)
Edited on Thu Oct-04-07 06:43 PM by Kurt_and_Hunter
On CNN just now.

Wolf Blizter, because he is a MORON, did not follow with the obvious: "What was done to John McCain that we do not do?"

It would have made for some interesting TV.

(I know we have witheld medical treatement/pain killers for wounded POWs in Iraq to assist interogation, which was the thing that always bothered me the most about McCains' situattion... that his arms were already broken ejecting from his plane. In that situation, even kicking the foot of someone's bed might be more painful than a lot of classic torture techniques.)

3. I just saw it, I could not believe Fran Townsend.
I loved it when she was asked whether or not she thought these "techniques" would be ok if they were used on American soldiers and she responed with the people we are talking about "do not wear uniforms."

4. Right before you are arrested put on some kind of uniform.
Then they cannot torture you.

7. The RWing scowers America for pretty RWing Fascists.
Fox Noise digs in deep to find them for their RWing Propaganda Net Work.
