Bush claimed right to waive torture laws, common sense
I'm George Dumbya an' I approved of this message...
A 2002 order signed by Bunnypants himself says the preznit - or in this case, GW - 'reserves the right' to suspend the Geneva Conventions at any time.
The White House released Defense Department memos detailing some of the harsh interrogation methods approved - and then rescinded - by Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld in 2002 and 2003. The administration continues to refuse to say what interrogation methods are approved for use now."These documents raise more questions than they answer," said Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY.
Reminder: the misadministration does not consider it "torture" unless it is "equivalent in intensity to the pain accompanying serious physical injury, such as organ failure, impaired bodily function or even death."
