These 'rabid leftists moonbats' equal about 80+% of the nation at this point, according to the most recent CNN poll I've seen.
CNN is a biased poll with limited credibility, 80% of those that would vote in a CNN poll would be akin to using the Hannity poll for an opinion polling sample of the U.S. opinion on any matter, besides, law isn't based on opinion, if 80% of the population is wrong, it doesn't a crime equal.
Here we go again... another blind Bush supporter that is required to play dumb in order to continue his blind support of actions that are morally, ethically, and legally wrong.
Everything was done legally, ethically, the president was obligated to protect the United States, which he put forth a sincere effort to do, morality is subjective, but I believe most would agree that to protect your citizens at all costs, including popularity, is the height of morality.
Even fox news had a report on torturing detainees... they spinned it as necessary since he was involved in 9-11 and later (under torturous pressure) confessed to those crimes.
First of all, what's with this "even fox news" garbage, a indepedent journalism panel found them to be the most centrist television news organization, and they are #1 in cable news ratings currently. Secondly, there is nothing worse that we could do to those scumbags in Gitmo than they have done to innocent civilians and our soldiers, waterboarding is not equal to sawing someone's head off with a machete, or dragging a soldiers dead and naked body through the streets, so I don't give a good two ****s about their comfort, in fact, I want them to suffer.
