Bush says "we do not torture people."
Except it is a matter of record that the Bush Administration regards beatings, waterboarding, stress positions, and being kept in extreme conditions as not being torture. It is a matter of record that there has to be severe organ failure or death before an interrogation method is regarded as torture by the Bush Administration. Bush and his henchmen say "we do not torture", but then they refuse to tell us what they are doing and that we should just trust them.
By this point in time, anyone who is gullible enough to trust them probably is also in the process of getting 83 million dollars from the estate of an exiled Nigerian prince.
Look up, if you want, the technique known by the Russians as "telephoning Putin." That is not torture, according to the published/leaked guidelines of the Bush Administration.
Let me issue a legal warning here, in all seriousness:
If you work for the Federal government or any of its contractors and you engage in the questioning of prisoners using the methods that the Bush Administration condones, you are at risk of later being held accountable in a court of law, whether in this nation, another nation or at the International War Crimes Tribunal, for crimes against humanity.
Just like the Good Germans that served the Fuhrer, you eventually will be called to account for your misdeeds. I hope you have a defense that is a little stronger than "I vas chust following orders, mein herr."
