Bush ♥ torture

gee, never saw this one coming.
(via hufpo)

"President Bush said Saturday he vetoed legislation that would ban the CIA from using harsh interrogation methods such as waterboarding to break suspected terrorists because it would end practices that have prevented attacks."

(via TPM)

"he announced that he'd vetoed the Senate authorization bill, which would have effectively outlawed waterboarding and other "enhanced interrogation" techniques for the CIA by limiting the CIA to the Army's guide for interrogations, the Army Field Manual"

Nancy Pelosi responds:

"In the final analysis, our ability to lead the world will depend not only on our military might, but also on our moral authority. We will begin to reassert that moral authority by attempting to override the President’s veto next week. The world must know that America does not torture."
