Bush*: ' Without my plan, detainee questioning won't continue'
So is this our esteemed president admitting that he is currently torturing people?

It's not enough for this cabal to be above the law, they want to be above humanity. This is treasonous to our nation and humakind.

4. George is going to take his toys and go home if you don't play his way.
WAAAAHHHHHHHH! Give the baby a pacifier and a fresh diaper and put him in his stroller.

8. Do You Think a Pacifier Would Shut Him Up?
The whining is unbelievable. Why do his handlers allow him to speak?

7. Let me say something
I have some experience in military interrogations. I still have some manuals on interrogation techniques. There are tons of ways to get people to give you information. Threatening them usually is not the way to go. I can't even imagine torture. That's not in the manuals I have.

So I don't know what Bush is talking about. I guess before 9/11 no one ever questioned any EPW's, or detainees, or suspects in the military. And you know, I was impressed at all the techniques in interrogation which were not threatening to the person being interrogated at all, yet you could fool the person to reveal things without them realizing how much info they just gave you, and you could convince the person that it was in their best interest to tell you. There's like so much psychology about it it's mind-boggling. To think that our best chance to get intelligence is to torture, or that torture even gives credible information ,is downright false.

10. Yup, Little Boots, that's what the people are saying...we aren't
buying what you are selling. You want to commit a crime, you are stuck with it. Take responsiblity. It is YOUR plan. Glad to see you owning it because no one else wants that stinker.
