When are you going to push for their exhoneration? I mean, based on your exquisite WorldNetDaily legal reasoning, of course.

If you really look into it you will notice that the accusations far exceed waterboarding.If you care about our countries principles you will want atleast the air to be cleared through thorough investigations.

Bring on the torture, the more the better... The torture saved all of the miserable democrat butts along with the rest of us. Be glad it is used.
