    We may be forced by an international tribunal to uphold the rule of law, because our Congress refuses to act.

      Well I guess we can always hope for action from the international war crimes courts. I wouldn't hold your breath, though.

    Bush lied about this like he lies about most everything else.

    In 2007, when the Red Cross report was first published, Bush was asked at a press conference if he had seen the report. His reply was "no" and "we don't torture". TWO lies in one sentence.

        This article is a review of a book by Jane Mayer.

        She has written criticisms of everything to do with the Bush administraton.

        She is a democrat who hopes to make a lot of money with this book.

          Facts are facts Klarris, like Scott McClellan's book facts... Are you in your typical state of repug denial again?

          Fact: Kofi called Dumya a war criminal.

          Fact: MAJ Ritter, said all along Dumya was lying!

          Probable Fact: The Cheney Classified Energy Meeting Minutes with the likes of Ken Lay has the basis of war just for greed!

          Fact: We helped hang at least 3 Japanese after WW2 for the same torture!

            Just because she critiques the Bush administration, it doesn't make her claims false. In point of fact, it strengthens her position as she is outside of his grasp.

            And everyone hopes to make a lot of money. That is why Bush became president according to him. All he could talk about in the interview last year was how much money he thinks he will make on the public speaking circuit.

            Your defense has no merit.

            If it takes the Red Cross to get our conscience in gear, so be it.

                Yeah....heh heh.

                The Red Cross is a notorious political entity bent on waving partisan flags to stir up contoversy.

                Take your break already.

                "Would make them guilty of war crimes?" THEY ARE GUILTY OF WAR CRIMES and yet here they are with their smugness and unrepentent aires of self assuredness and in a total state of self denial that they've done anything wrong. History, as history does, will show these American Monsters for who they truely are and the totality of who is included in this exclusive terrorist organization which is the Bush Administration.

                  True history will find that your statement is valid but history will also show that the American people were also guilty by their reluctance to hold those responsible for the actions of their elected leaders. A sad page in the history of this Nation.

                If the current administration were Democrats and had done everything the Bush administration has done, you had better believe that the Republicans would have been SCREAMING about this a LONG time ago - and if Bush were a Democrat, he would have been impeached a LONG time ago by the Republicans.

                The Republican party is nothing short of amoral and hypocritical. The things they do are just fine all the time - but if the Democrats did the SAME things they would be skewered by the Republicans for it.

                  The track record of the Red Cross is very poor on torture and prisons. They have only attacked Countries that have civil rights that can be violated. They ignore most of the dictatorships that torture civilians.

                      The Red Cross and their opinion means nothing to me. Where were they when Sadam was hanging people by the goalposts and chopping off hands? Where were they when Daniel Pearl's head was cut off by barbarian Muslims? Where were they when we disclosed torture chambers in Iraq that drilled holes in people and had instruction books on torture?

                      All we do is give them a good face washing.

                      That is not torture.

                        That is not torture."

                        Then you should be the first to volunteer to go through waterboarding so afterwards you can say "it's not torture." That is if you're able to form a coherent sentence after going through it. Which more than half the American soldiers I've watched go through it in counter-int training couldn't do.

                        It saves American lives by getting information from terrorists. That makes it ok with me.

                        Maybe you are on the terrorists side ??

                        They cut off heads.

                        Have you ever seen someones head cut off?

                          Do you really beleive waterboarding is the worst our government does automan? Deusional at best, our so called leaders are as corrupt and sadistic as the worst of them, don't kid yourself. But then again you probably don't beleive in American terrorism and it's very exisitence within our own government and populous. Wake up and smell the bombs,

                            Take the Red Cross opinion and bundle it with the U.N. and flush. It won't all go down so repeat as necessary!

                              I hope and pray that Bush, Cheney, that whole filthy with corruption administration winds up on trial in international court for the war crimes they have committed. And after they have been tried and convicted, I hope they round up every person known to have supported their reign of torture and terror, like you, and throw every one of your sorry arses in Gitmo where you belong.
