Bush to veto anti-torture bill next week.Congress recently passed the Intelligence Authorization Act, which contained a provision creating a single interrogation standard for the U.S. government that bans the use of waterboarding. CQ reports that President Bush will veto the bill next week:

“The president’s expected to veto it next week,” said Emily Lawrimore, a spokeswoman for the White House. “We received it today.”

Although the exact date for the veto is unclear, the president likely will not act until after Tuesday’s primaries, since numerous lawmakers will not be on Capitol Hill then.

1. Make sure all the "nice" Republican people you know see this.

Rub it in their faces.. Ask them if they think America should be in the "torture business". Accuse them of being the agents of torture, for surely they are.

we have to enact laws to make criminal behavior retroactively legal. And then, we have to pass a law that makes criminal behavior a crime???
