You need to read the Geneva Convention and the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Both of which the U.S. agreed to.

Sure but the U.S. does not abide by either of these.

Even American prisoners during WWII were treated by the Germans according to the Geneva convention. Are we worse than them?

Stu Gahtze, your the man! You just keep going the way you are. You're the best thing that has happened for the Democratic Party in years. Please don't change until after 2008. Bad neo, bad neo!

Say it with me......

Billy boy, ..of course I KNOW that I'm the man, ..& you are correctamundo about me not changing!

I can hardly think of a good reason to sell out my soldiers, my country, my leaders, & the values that used to make this nation great, ..as you democrats do for the sake of your liberal overseers.

Naturally, ..anybody that believes in America & its goodness & freedoms & its past moral traditions are ALWAYS labeled as a "neo-con" by the leftists & naive' democrats who have been successfully "liberalized" in thought, word & deed.

Unlike the "liberal", ..who runs from the liberal label, but only while THEY are campaigning, ..I will GLADLY wear the neo-con badge with honor if it means preserving what good values that the democrats & liberals have not yet destroyed through judicial fiat,the atheist socialist agenda, the ACLU, the media, historic revision, ..& all the rest of the liberal crap that the few, the proud, & the arrogant liberals want to ram down the majorities throats!

Indeed, ..perhaps you, & the senate liberals SHOULD keep talking, & keep condemning, & keep accusing America of evil. Perhaps one day, ..all of them will yet convince the terror scum that we are deserving of a dirty bomb.

In fact, ..there are probably at least more than just a few who dwell in the democratic party senate that would agree with that terror scum in that notion, ..as do some of your righteous liberal professors, & educators!

John McCain: Aiding and Abetting

Stu - you should like this one.

Quote:
John McCain Vs. Rupert Murdoch

Yesterday (11/17) The New York Post, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, published an op-ed piece written by Senator John McCain defending the War in Iraq, and why he voted "no" on the two amendments this week in regards to troop withdrawal, setting a timeline to bring them home, and having the President give Congress regular updates on the war.

But now McCain is livid with the Post. Why? Because he gave them the leniency to write the title of the article and they chose the sensational, yet inaccurate title, "Aiding and Abetting", to which Senator McCain responded on Hardball with Chris Matthews: "I think it's outrageous."
