There is no evidence of ANY torture, period.

It would be interesting, however, if there were a poll asking the American People would they support the use of waterboarding (with the procedure fully described, accompanied by the fact that the subject is uninjured by the process and it lasts only seconds, typically). Particularly, in the instance where the detainee is a person who was deeply involved with 9/11 and is likely to be able to provide information which will help prevent future attacks.

You'd get a 70/30 support for it, with the 30 being only the left-wing extremists. I'd wager on it.

You've spend years and years posting allegations, innuendo, and smirs about Bush. You've had to be right once in a while in your wild speculative fishing for something. It would be nice if just once you could back something up with a fact. If there were tortures, and I figure like you that must have been some abuse someplace with an active military the size of ours, where is your evidence?

What torture?

The assurances of protected human rights, transparency are worthless. Obama has shown he doesn't consider promises important.
