"President Bush says he knew his top national security advisers discussed and approved specific details about how high-value al Qaeda suspects would be interrogated by the Central Intelligence Agency, according to an exclusive interview with ABC News Friday.
'Well, we started to connect the dots in order to protect the American people.' Bush told ABC News White House correspondent Martha Raddatz. 'And yes, I'm aware our national security team met on this issue. And I approved.'"
Allow me to repeat this, since this is a fairly gobsmacking revelation....our President, who swore twice on the Bible to uphold the Constitution, was briefed on and approved the use of torture on captured suspects. High-level cabinet meetings, involving the President's closest advisers.....all to discuss whether they should smash testicles, pull out fingernails or deliver atomic wedgies to the poor saps, er, "suspects" they happen to capture. No consideration of 231 years as an independent nation which respects human rights and due process. Not to mention, not having our highest levels of government approving torturing innocent people.
It's been asked before and I will ask it again here and now: Will someone please give this asshole a blowjob so we can impeach him already?!!!
