But since you're so far up Bush's colon, I can see how you'd think it would undermine US security. No, Mac, the release of the memos undermines the case for torturing terrorist suspects.

Aren't they the ones who use the deadliest weapons? (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) No torture of people there, righ, Sheesh? And the democrats are the ones that issue campaigns and contingencies instead of wars that require following the Geneva Convention. Remember Clinton and all of these: Operation Desert Fox, Operation Allied Force, The Battle of Mogadishu, and a few others? Geez Sheesh...with Obama in office we can now continue the Bush years but call it a different name. No worries, we have a democrate president. Aren’t they the ones who use the deadliest weapons?

Don't hold your breath. I've requested it many times on other articles to no avail. He's a serial drive-by commenter. If he does come up with anything remotely looking like evidence, I'm going to have to agree with #11 Steve, it's probably something spoonfed to him from the Daily KO's or the HuffPo.

The doctors you mentioned who were there to supervise the safety of the “interrogation” had to perform tracheotomies in cases where the tortured individual got too much water into their lungs. So obviously you’re full of crap when you claim that waterboarding caused no bodily harm to the dousees.

If you have proof that any of the troika had tracheotomies post it.

Is it possible for any government is any country in any era to survive with full disclosure of all of its secrets?
