McCain could not have voted 'for' torture

Like i said, i guess that depends on what your definition of "is" is.

“Anyone who knows what waterboarding is could not be unsure. It is a horrible torture technique used by Pol Pot and being used on Buddhist monks as we speak,” said McCain after a campaign stop at Dordt College here.

McCain clearly and unambiguously considers Waterboarding torture (your twisted logic, ignorance of the subject, and stupidity not withstanding).

I support and admire McCain for condemning waterboarding as torture, for shaming those who lack the moral courage and decency to join him. In this, he is right on.

I'm also sure McCain will say his vote had nothing to do with whether or not waterboarding is torture.

You're argument is pathetic and moronic because McCain is on record that he himself believes waterboarding is torture. Don't you ever feel compelled to know what you're talking about? Is that optional in your moral universe?

2) Waterboarding has been raised on more than one occasion to the justice system and has not yet been declared torture.

Tyrants all over the world would be pleased to hear that America has set such high standards!
