Meanwhile the exact language in that John McCain amendment approved by the Senate 90 to 9.
Quote:
|
... no individual in the custody or under the physical control of the United States government, regardless of nationality or physical location, shall be subject to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
|
This quote directly based upon the US Army's own field manual. And yet George Jr - classic of a religious extremist - advocates so much torture that even FBI agents withdrew from locations where torture was ongoing. Why do we know? FBI agents carefully documented the torture before they withdrew.
Just another example of why religion has no place in politics or as justification for war. Meanwhile, who is trying to quash the McCain amendment? VP Dick Cheney (who is the defacto president but who was also on vacation during Katrina when George Jr decided to act as president). Dick Cheney wants to keep using "enhanced interrogation techniques". Need I point to how propagandists will rename torture so as to justify torture?
