Posted By Radiofreeeuropa 1 year, 2 months ago in News

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has admitted for the first time that she led high-level discussions beginning in 2002 with other senior Bush administration officials about subjecting suspected al-Qaeda terrorists detained at military prisons to the harsh interrogation technique known as waterboarding, according to documents released late Wednesday by Carl Levin, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Armed Service Committee.

    McCain stood up and questioned this obvious evil, but reversed his position in less than a week coming out in favor of torture.
    This was the day I was done respecting the man.

    Like you RFE, the day that John McCain reversed his convictions regarding torture and his professed adherence to the mandates of the Geneva Conventions, was the day that I lost my respect and trust for him.

    In addition, after meeting behind closed doors with George W. Bush, this compromise was announced. On that day, I suspect McCain received a political bride from Bush that had to do with supporting his GOP nomination and presidential candidacy.

        The whole republicon party is pro torture. What does that tell you about their morals? Or lack thereof. The haves, and the have mores don't have a clue what torture is or what it means. The fact that John Sidney McCain supports torture makes me wonder if he was ever tortured.

          Yellow Cake Condi is a troll. All these people in the Bush administration would never had made it the position they hold were it not for their lack of ethics and honesty.

            This is indeed troubling and actually prosecutable as a direct violation of the Geneva Conventions. If I'm not mistaken, they could be tried on war crimes right?

              Well Karma, if you believe such things,...what goes around comes around... is already taking it's toll on the US as a nation, which troubles me because half the people fought these clowns tooth and nail, the other half and the perpetrators deserve no quarter whatsoever.

              This is the reason why this country has more than enough enemies to deal with.
