McCain had every single tooth broken by the North-Vietnamese

He received beatings, endured broken bones and saw his fellow pilots while they were tortured...

Vote for Gonzales "Mr." McCain and you'll lose your soul...

1. But did they intend to cause pain
"equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death"?

3. He also took a heavy emotional beating from Bush in 2000 primary.
Yet he saw fit to give him a big hug at the 2004 Convention.

Senator McCain has some complex issues.

5. But teeth aren't organs
so it wouldn't fit as torture.

I thought torture was only when there is risk of organ failure or death.

Maybe that's what we should push.

Mr McCain... did you consider getting your teeth kicked in as torture? Gonzalez doesn't.

8. After my last root canal.......
I would have just about admitted to anything.

So only organ failure and death are torture according to Gonzalez? Wonder if he ever heard of the French wet towel procedure? Leaves no bruises, was well researched in Algeria, and was almost 100% effective, our poor little brains need that oxygen. In case of death it looks like a heart attack with little or no trauma. Worked much better than drugs and eliminated the need for beatings, shock, etc..

Of course Americans do not resort to torture.
