Imperial torturer

I really wish Congress had the nuts to impeach this POS. Chicago Tribune: "When Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) proposed a bill banning the "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of detainees in U.S. custody abroad, President Bush opposed it and Vice President Dick Cheney lobbied unsuccessfully to exempt the CIA. In the face of opposition in Congress and the rest of the world, the president eventually signed the measure, to show that "this government does not torture." But there was a catch: Bush attached a statement saying he could ignore the ban if he thought it necessary." The Boston Globe: "THE BUSH administration is trying to get Congress to endorse trials for prisoners in the war on terrorism that would allow coerced testimony, hearsay evidence, and the exclusion of the defendants and their civilian lawyers from parts of the proceedings in which classified evidence is presented. The proposal makes a mockery of the nation's proud history of due process under law, and Congress should reject it outright."
