Holy Crap.

This can not be as bad as it sounds......Right?

Last Week John McCain spoke out for a second against Bush's torture policy and it appeared ever so briefly, that the Republican party may have a heart.

Well they don't. And I hope McCain is happy now that he made a deal with the devil and gave Bush his balls on a silver platter.

So here we are, Bush now can interpret the Geneva Convention as he sees fit, he may use "alternative techniques" for getting information form detainees and the kicker is that the bill passed will not hold previous military personnel, CIA interrogators and high ranking officers (ie. Bush, Rumsfeld etc.) accountable for any previous torture (Abu Ghraib, Gitmo) and therefore will not be charged with war crimes after this is all said and done.

At this point I guess the bill has not passed (I am not sure how this works, exactly) but I think it is in the stage where it needs to go to congress so they can vote on this. I encourage writing a letter to your congressperson, representative or whomever allowing the public to be able to vote on this bill in November. From what I have heard and read, it seems as though alot of people do not support this at all. This is serious shit and I do not trust that Congress will do the right thing and stand up the President and not allow this bill to pass (just like McCain was persuaded to sell out, congress can do the same thing.)

This is giving waaaayyyy to much power and control to one person.
