Bush, Cheney, and Torture

Finally, Bush reluctantly agreed to McCain's law that bans torture. However, this happened only after intense bipartisan congressional pressure, and a day after the House overwhelmingly endorsed McCain's measure.

But why was that even an issue? Well, it is well known that vice president Cheney felt differently and had argued strongly with McCain on the issue. Of course, Mc Cain was absolutely right.

It is simply amazing that this was ever an issue. This is the United States of America. How could Bush/Cheney be hessitant in adopting a law that condemns torture??? Unbelievable.

Thats another sad example of how destructive has been for the values of the country the Bush/Cheney administration.
