White House declines to totally rule out torture

Whoa dude, you totally don't wanna rule out torture! It's radical, man!

White House declines to totally rule out torture

In an important clarification of President George W. Bush's earlier statement, a top White House official refused to unequivocally rule out the use of torture, arguing the US administration was duty-bound to protect Americans from terrorist attack.

The comment, by US national security adviser Stephen Hadley, came amid heated national debate about whether the CIA and other US intelligence agencies should be authorized to use what is being referred to as "enhanced interrogation techniques" to extract from terror suspects information that may help prevent future assaults.


We have a new buzzword- "enhanced interrogation techniques"!

Clear skies = more pollution
No child left behind = Children left behind (and/or recruited into the military)
Enhanced interrogation techniques = torture

"We do not torture"
-President George W. Bush (November 7, 2005)



And what does John "Boo hoo, I was tortured for 6 years in Vietnam" McCain have to say on this...
