The Gonzalez Memo
Are Ignoring International Agreements and Arguing for Torture American "Values"
Hey, I didn't start this values thing, but it does pose an interesting question. Yes, we need to protect America and sleep deprivation, 'truth serum' and such are not what I would consider torture, but electrical shock, sexual abuse, beatings etc. may be pushing the line. We had one Attorney General who thinks the terror war is important enough to do an end run around Consitutional protections against search and siezure, right to counsel etc. Now we get a candidate who bends the spirit of the Geneva Convention and to pave the way for the Iraqi prison torture scandal?
If you didn't like the original, you're not gonna like the sequel.
Read the famous memo and decide for yourself.
