The Brainless Preserve a No-Brainer

The bushbaby, seeking to satisfy the chaingang in his playpen and prove he's still in charge of the rattle, vetoed a bill to prohibit torture (which is actually already forbidden by international law and many treaties the US has signed and all of which the playpen ignores) by the central-agency-for-unintelligence (the one that was caught with its pants down when the Berlin Wall fell, not even to mention in september seven years ago).
Fitting is that the tortured mac-cane himself voted against this bill, cause you just have to let the spies torture to find out stuff, he mumbled in exasperation though not able to throw his arms up in the air for emphasis. Cane that bushbaby!
Embarrassing!
Justice and democracy are different.

The New York Times: Bush’s Veto of Bill on C.I.A. Tactics Affirms His Legacy
By STEVEN LEE MYERS / Published: March 9, 2008 / WASHINGTON
President Bush on Saturday further cemented his legacy of fighting for strong executive powers, using his veto to shut down a Congressional effort to limit the Central Intelligence Agency’s latitude to subject terrorism suspects to harsh interrogation techniques.
Mr. Bush vetoed a bill that would have explicitly prohibited the agency from using interrogation methods like waterboarding, a technique in which restrained prisoners are threatened with drowning and that has been the subject of intense criticism at home and abroad. Many such techniques are prohibited by the military and law enforcement agencies.
