Remember: Congress already knew about the worse of the torture.

There was a meeting where members of congress saw it all.

That was the time when Limbaugh was selling t-shirts and hats that had "Camp Gitmo" on them. He claimed the "torture" was nothing. It was all just Liberal whining and an attack on Bush and thus America and these prisoners were being coddled at a tropical paradise. When the first pics from Abu Ghraib came out the Pigman claimed it was no big deal. Guys wearing panties on their heads? That's a frat party.

Keep in mind that meeting included video of the rape of a child to get the father to talk. It's said that the audio portion of the boy's crying is worse than the video portion.

It takes a special kind of evil to see that and then continue to follow Limbaugh's lead and try to dismiss it all as a political attack by Liberal Democrats and it takes an especially twisted mind to try to be proud of it....

....like Cheney.

Even presuming they had the votes to convict, which I doubt, Pelosi and Reid knew damn well that if they tried impeaching Bush that it would expose all the Democrats who knew and approved of what Bush was doing.

One has to wonder how many and which Democrats would have been exposed.
