.they had secret memos that allowed these "enhanced" techniques and watched, in fact condemned, average joes for doing exactly what they sought legally.

What secret memos? Hell, Pelosi, Rockefeller, and a total of 63 other members of Congress were briefed extensively, AND APPROVED, of techniques.

I don't know what more a president can do. Those members of Congress could have brought the entire measure before the American people BEFORE it happened, yet they chose not to.

Why? It is obvious. The American People supported the actions, and still do. Even now, more than half the American people support not only the use of these MILD techniques, but would support the use of TORTURE (the real thing) to save American lives.

The left wing lunatics like yourself? Of course not. You're going to protect America by being nice guys.

How's that working out for us?
