Re: The Torture President
Bush continues his effort to reverse the liberal philosophy of our Constitution. A founding principle of our government has been that we accept that some criminals will go free in order to minimize the chances of putting the innocent in jail by ensuring the rights of the accused. While Bush claims that torturing suspects protects lives, it does so at the cost of torturing possibly innocent people ... not to mention that it is cruel and unusual punishment for a crime for which they haven't been convicted and held in detention without access to due process while they are being tortured.
George W. Bush vetoes a bill in order to keep using torture techniques perfected by the Nazis and deployed by the Khmer Rouge.
