It’s still unclear whether water-boarding remains on the menu.

It got down right disgusting when Americans, afraid for their lives gave the shrub full approval to do as he wished. Want to tortue anyone including Americans, ‘no problem,’ spirit them out of their beds and out of United States and you are free to do anything you please with them. We can never complain about the treatment of Americans by our enemies as long as we torture,"a tactic proven ineffective.” Today, sadder than 2000, we see our Constitution, rights of Americans to be heard, and represented by those we put in office, as well as those who hold office by dubious means ‘trampled beneath Bush’s cowboy boot.’ Our ancestors must be proud of the way many quiver when Bush warns of doom, how you hide in fear when Bush tells you the terrorist are coming for us.You sign away our freedom in the name of false safety. “A brave person may not live a long life, but he will live a full life.” “A frightened person may live a long life, but it will be uneventful as he cowers in in the shadows.
