The Torture President?

"Bush claims torture has prevented numerous terrorist attacks, but the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia, says he has never heard of such an instance."


"With this veto, Bush makes it clear that, beyond just scrambling to justify past lapses into torture after the fact, he emphatically wants torture to be cemented as national policy. Doing so, he adds a lurid extrusion to his astonishing claim that presidents, as commanders in chief, are beyond any control by Congress."


And where did Our President, our most prominent spokes model, get his info about torture preventing several terrorist attacks? Perhaps from those unimpeachable sources whose info was used to justify the invasion of Iraq, "Curveball" and Ahmed Chalabi.
