Moron! I am not here to educate you on every aspect of the topic. Looks like even God has given up on it (assuming She exists!). So, I won't try!
Here's a friend's view on the topic :
It's really pretty simple. The White House is comparing these trials of terror suspects to the trials at Nuremberg. Yet they used torture to gather the evidence that will be used in these trials, the same kind of torture that was PROSECUTED at Nuremberg. If John McCain had any free thought left, he would have made the obvious choice and voted to restore moral authority in this country, and vote to ban waterboarding and any other form of torture.
He did not.
This, of course, is just the latest example of John McCain's Double Talk Express. He once was a supposed champion of campaign finance reform, but now he's declined public money in his Presidential race, and has rejected the public financing model that he taped public service announcements in favor of in his native Arizona. He's talked about cleaning up Washington from corruption, yet he's taken money from Jack Abramoff's lobbying firm Greenberg Traurig, from employees of the criminal Republican benefactor. He's described himself as some different kind of Republican, yet he shared the stage last night with noted "Jew-counter" Fred Malek, who worked for Nixon making sure there weren't too many Jews in the Bureau of Labor Statistics. To say nothing of McCain's other companions, Macaca George Allen and Tom "I believe in the death penalty for abortionists like me" Coburn.
But this really takes the cake. McCain's principled and honorable stances on torture were nothing but meaningless words. His actions tell a different story. There's no other way to look at it. |
