Do you keep every fish you catch? If you have to throw so many back, why fish? War on terror: Overseas contingency operation Terrorism: Man made disasters Torture: Harsh interrogation measures Just trying to be PC. ...If there was one. Nothing to see here, Red.
Interesting how the noted Obama supporters here completely ignored the topic of the prez releasing these documents, and possibly prosecuting former Bush aides, and what that will do to us.

I find it interesting that most here fall over the word torture like they can't define it. Such ignorance. I also find it interesting that we like our presidents to be a bunch of hyprocrites: Bush 2003:

You need to read the news cycle this morning, Obama and Reid are against the prosecutions and congressional hearings. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/23/senate-leaders-opposes-interrogation-inquiry-panel/?hp
