The Left Coaster: Torture - Shocking the conscience
In one of his best performances for telling outright lies, Bush yesterday claimed that the new bill concerning torture was needed because the GCs were "vague". Repeating this claim over and over, about 15 times. Bush is clearly back in fine form "catapulting the propaganda" with renewed vigor. Lenin and Goebels are in hell smilling approvingly.
Well what is the source of the vaguenss? From today's WaPo:
A senior administration official, authorized to speak with reporters about the legal issues behind the administration's strategy yesterday on the condition that he not be named, said the CIA interrogations at issue are in "the gray area on the margins -- that ill-defined boundary -- of Common Article 3." He was referring to a Geneva Conventions provision that bars cruel, humiliating and degrading treatment, as well as "outrages upon personal dignity."[emphasis mine]
