1. And now for the signing statement...

The Pentagon still answers to Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld still answers to Nero. Anything the Pentagon says now is worthless.

2. Flip-flop

who asked them to do the torture in the first place.

5. I still want to know where the new pictures went

They were supposed to be released weeks (months?) ago, but where are they?

They need to be seen. BEFORE the "elections".

6. Too little too late.

Whatever. You can't fool people anymore.

Disgusting and a neocon, spinning load of horseshit.

Pentagon Bans Torture, Just Before Until Elections Of Course

9. The Military will no longer torture detainees but

they didn't say that they wouldn't send detainees to countries that will do the job for them, did they?

The CIA will still have their secret locations for detainees but promise not to torture detainees. Anyone believe these assholes?

The Busholini Regime, the Military and the CIA have all violated the US Constitution. Will there be any consequences?

10. Bush and Gonzales on torture is like Clinton on sex

It all depends on what your definition of is is.

There will be an act of Congress that will define torture as the mthods used by Torquemada. Therefore, water boarding, sensory deprivation, stress positions, setting on of dogs is not torture (at least not when Bush or his agents do it) because it isn't the rack or the iron maiden (that's torture). So, as long as Bush or his agents (I refuse to say we or Americans when referring to these war criminals) don't use Torquemada's methods, they don't torture.
