WASHINGTON - President Bush will be facing a tough crowd as he steps behind closed doors to ask House Republicans divided by the politics of war to support his drive for more power to spy on, imprison and interrogate terrorism suspects.

For Bush, the unusual visit to Capitol Hill on Thursday caps a week of high-profile administration pressure to rescue bills mired in turf battles and privacy concerns. It also gives GOP leaders a chance to press for loyalty among Republicans confronted on the campaign trail by war-weary voters.

Warner believes the administration proposal would lower the standard for the treatment of prisoners, potentially putting U.S. troops at risk should other countries retaliate.

Two other Republicans — Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Sen. Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record) of South Carolina — have joined Warner in opposing Bush's bill.

3. Bush** is a sadistic lunatic

He's pressing for a Hanoi Hilton, KGB and Hitler's SS all rolled into one. How in the world can anyone seriously consider giving him more when no one's certain what we already have??
