This sanitized version is enough to scare the shit out of the entire planet

If this is the mere tip of the iceberg, Bush, CHeney et al should be locked up in the Hague. I am grateful for even this.

Read it sometime. What happened are war crimes and as such should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. There is no statute of limitations to them.

How could he speak/believe otherwise? It's easy for Cheney, et.al. to say how great and effective the techniques are, but they were nowhere near the Hanoi Hilton, now were they?

I respect John McCain's service. Always have.
