Bush The Torturer

These are facts. Bush advocated and used torture. Not "torture", but torture. Bush repeatedly said the US does not torture. He lied. He lied a lot. With a straight face, he knew that he was the person who instituted torture, and then flat out lied to all of America. Never lose sight of the sequence of Bush using torture, denying torture, then being found guilty of using torture.

No more side-stepping the issue as partisan, this is what the Red Cross found:

"The allegations of ill-treatment of the detainees indicate that, in many cases, the ill-treatment to which they were subjected while held in the CIA program, either singly or in combination, constituted torture. In addition, many other elements of the ill-treatment, either singly or in combination, constituted cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment."

We need a truth and reconciliation commission. NOW!

All these top guys in the Bush Cabal knew what going on. No one up the chain of command resigned. No one was fired after massive failures like Abu Ghraib. That's how you know they were all in on it.

Now that Bush and Cheney are out of office, commence the trials.
