Republicans pass torture law...

Let's start with some quotes from the article.

""Is it perfect? No," said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (news, bio, voting record), R-Fla. "Do we have an obligation to pass it? Yes.""

Is it perfect? No, should you pass it? NO. If you pass imperfect legislation, it only leads to imperfect implementing of that legislation.

"The measure also provides extensive definitions of war crimes such as torture, rape and biological experiments — but gives Bush broad authority to decide which other techniques U.S. interrogators can legally use."

Bush has clearly shown he can not be trusted, especially with a decision to decide what is torture and what is not.

Republicans have been using this ploy to "paint democrats soft on terror." And some Christian rejects such as Hastert have said "...Democrats opposing the measure "voted today in favor of MORE rights for terrorists.""

Actually, Democrats just believe in a little something called Human Rights. The Bush administration has been CAUGHT not only torturing innocent people, but torturing them for years without them ever being able to call for an attorney or even let anyone know where they were. The most recent case in Canada is simply that, only the most recent case.

For Republicans to state that Democrats are soft on terror is just insulting and immoral to say the least. It shows they have no substance in their argument and can only resort to attacks on the other guy (as we all know is their M.O.) What's worse is they think the American people are stupid enough to believe it. Yes, some believe it and I can guarantee a couple will post in response to this but if you look at every piece of legislation passed by the Republican Congress and voted against by Democrats, it will, at its core, have a Human Rights issue.

The Republicans in Congress just spit in the face of the Geneva Convention and our soldiers will pay for it if not now, in the future war Bush drags us in to. What's next, Iran or Pakistan?

He can barely be trusted to tie his own shoes and yet they are letting him decide what is and what isn't torture. He is going to simply decide that anything is not torture and can be used and as our country slowly descends into the pits of hell, we will be led by George W. Bush, the worst president this country has ever and hopefully will ever see.
