‘Damn right’ Bush Personally Ordered Waterboarding

President George W. Bush admits for the first time in his new memoir that he personally approved the use of waterboarding, a technique in which an interrogator simulates drowning on a suspect. The method, which most describe as torture, has since been banned by the Justice Department.

In his book, "Decision Points," Bush asserts that he was asked by the Central Intelligence Agency whether he would support the agency's waterboarding of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged 9/11 mastermind.

"Damn right," Bush says that he said.

Christians rejoice! Constitutionalists rejoice! GOP lawyers rejoice!

Having a president above the law, breaking the Geneva Convention, torturing people using "god on his side" as a justification is just perfect logic for Conservatives/Republicans/Tea Klanners.

Same people think Obama increasing health care for children is fascism and/or communism depending on their clear lack of intellect.

We need to get serious about how not serious our opposition is.
