Re: "Only the most extreme right wing fanatics, like Bush and Cheney, maintain the position that Torture is needed." What the President said today was "we do not torture." Perhaps you'd better look into that, rather than sling assetions without the evidence and detail required to make them. Cheney says, torture is needed. That is why the Bush administration remains opposed to the torture ban approved by the Senate. I appreciate the president paying lip service "we do not torture", but it's not really saying much when you add the caveat that "but we might in the future". Add to that the spectre of Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, Afghanistan, reports of torture in E Europe by the CIA in secret prisons and torture flights to other foreign countries so that they do the dirty work for us...and Bush's remarks ring hollow. The only assertion I have made is that Bush thinks that torture is needed, and that is shown to be true by his insistence that torture not be banned. Hardly an assertion. The other well reported instances of torture stand for themselves. They are not my assertions. Orca
