Whew! John McCain is against the torture of Americans.
http://thinkprogress.org/

I’ve made it very clear, I’ve made it very clear in my statements and in my support of the Detainee Treatment Act, the Geneva Conventions, etc., that there may be some additional techniques to be used, but none of those would violate the Geneva Conventions, the Detainee Treatment Act…And we cannot ever, in my view, torture any American, that includes waterboarding.

(there is a video, too)

Uh....he is seriously losing his marbles people. STFU over "bitter" and "sniper" already and please concentrate on the real threat to our democracy!!!!

1. Well, he sure didn't help override idiot son's veto of the
official extension of the Military Code of Justice's guidelines to include ALL the Intel branches, now did he?

Besides, an "American" is no longer an "American" once they're unilaterally declared to be an "illegal enemy combatant". . .

2. The Detainee Treatment Act didn't apply to the CIA - and that wasn't unintentional
so, uh, go ahead, brag about it, McCain. Brag about exempting the CIA from conforming to the law. Go ahead, claim you don't support torture.

Yeah, you're a real maverick alright.

Just another piece of shit torture enabler.

3. Of course, because Americans are the only 'true' human beings on earth, right, John?

4. That's right, God's chosen people except for liberals, hippies ...
blacks, gays, Mexicans and brown skinned people in general and non-Christians or the wrong kind of Christians or anyone not carrying a GOP voter registration.
