Old & N the Way: `Nuff Said

`Nuff Said

I've listened to all the slants and it doesn't seem any clearer than this from saint Ronnie:

Convention Against Torture, signed and championed by Ronald Reagan, Article II/IV:

No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, whether a state of war or a threat or war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justification of torture. . . Each State Party shall ensure that all acts of torture are offences under its criminal law.

Hey Glenn Beck, suck on this!

edit: In my initial haste to post this I skipped where I found it and linked directly to the source. It is now properly linked, one of my favorite sites - blondsense.

Or, if you want to take it a step further back, you can cite the U.S. War Crimes tribunals that put members of the Japenese Military to death for waterboarding...

Yep, if the Geneva Convention, The Constitution and numerous others aren't enough, then St Ronnie should have gotten through to them. But even their hero didn't seem to matter.. they even ignored and still ignore his words. Of course they changed the name from Torture to "enhanced interrogation" and said it was like "university hazing" so that makes it ok.. yeah right..
