"waterboarding remains in the CIA's tool kit. The technique can be used, but it requires the consent of the attorney general and president on a case-by-case basis. Bush wants to keep that option open."
So,what your saying is bullshit.They allow torture by waterboarding,but only if permission comes from hi levels.He wants the option to torture when he wants to torture.They allow waterboarding in the cia,but they need his permission.He wants the right to torture when he deems it necessary.A Christian shouldn't ever want the right to torture.He is hypocrite scum.A Methodist wants the right to torture somebody. That's a religious hypocrite. If he is signing off to torture people,then he is hardly acting Christian.All you people can get in line with the torture lover.That's not my country..that's yours.This should be a huge issue coming up in the election in November.We will see how far McCain is willing to go to distance himself from this thug activity.We are supposed to be a better country than this.That is a disgrace(to see a sitting president veto a bill outlawing torture.) We look low like dogs....base.
