White hats
Cow yearns for the days when the Yankees were the good guys. When prisoners of war would know that because the Americans took them, they were going to be locked up, fed, and allowed the benefits of the Geneva Convention. When America was a force for good in the world.
When discussions on whether waterboarding is torture or not, would only be held in bad guy countries, not ours.
How can a country which stands for freedom, individual rights and justice, even CONSIDER using torture? Who are these people using these methods, commanding those who do?
Moo!

There's a new type of toilet paper in the White House. It's called "the Constitution."
Tee-hee!
Good one, Sandi!
Moo!
Sad indeed.
I think the sophistry and dishonesty is almost as bad morally as the torture. Same as the argument that "we can do what we like with 'enemy combatants' because they're not accused criminals or prisoners of war."
As an effective method of safeguarding freedom and democracy it's no better than crapping in your lunchbox to stop somebody stealing your sandwiches.
Oooh, liking the analogy.
Bush's advisors have been very inventive finding ways to circumvent not just the letter of the law but also the spirit.
Environmental protection? Let's appoint an agency head who doesn't believe in it.
Attorney General? Let's appoint somebody whose only belief is "My Bush, right or wrong."
Moo!
