McGrath: but Clinton DID lie.

Don: When questioned by Ted Kennedy or his buddy, the bald-headed guy to his left (can't remember his name) Ashcroft SAID specifically that the president had not approved torture. I heard it as plainly as you did not!

The argument presented that we should not torture prisoners because our soldiers, if captured by the terrorists might also be tortured just doesn't hold up. We KNOW the terrorists would torture and likely kill any of our soldiers captured and to deny it is simply wishful thinking. I do not think our prisoners should be tortured. George Bush doesn't either.

Ebbie: he was just as dead one way or the other, right?
