Dumbya says it is OK to torture prisoners! What wisdom!

Yep, W said that Saddam was an evil torturer. Then he commands our forces to conduct torture. You see torture "can be ok" if it's used to get information that is "vital to national security". "'The Geneva Convention is an old, quaint and irrelevant document'".

I'm sure that Saddam was applying torture in the same manner, that is was "vital to national security". In that case he was justified to do it, even by the words of Attorney General Gonzales. Therefore I don't think we can try Saddam for torture, unless we try Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld for the same violations of international law.
