If you think that John McCain has managed to stick to the principles that made him a compelling candidate for independents in 2000, well think again.  The Senator from Arizona was able to withstand torture by the Vietcong almost 40 years ago, but he can not with stand the sadistic dimmensia that plagues the current administration, most Republicans on the hill and many Democrats too.  He is fighting for George W Bush to be able to torture terror suspects despite his own claims that he is against torture.

Well it is pretty simple, if John McCain is really against torture then he should support the bill to Ban torture.

Instead he is supporting the President's plan to Veto a Bill approved by Congress that would not only Ban torture but would give the intelligence community other provisions it needs to help fight the so called War on Terror (more like a pull the wool over our eyes with Terror War).  By blocking this intelligence Bill both the President and John McCain are choosing a side that makes our country less prepared to defend itself against terrorists.  Plus, by voting in favor of torture, a different type of terror by the way, and by vetoing a bill that would ban terror, both men are assuredly inciting terrorists to find justification in their crazy belief system that considers it OK to terrorize people.

You can almost here the Al Qaeda recruiting video from Bin Laden coming out next month, "See this President tortures Muslims.  He is evil.  We must attack."

The White House perspective is and has been one led from a position of fear and ignorance and they are trying to bring Americans down to their level of fear and ignorance like a bad plot from the Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Schumer also warned that a presidential veto of the authorization bill "will hamstring our ability to gather and act on important intelligence at a time of war."

The administration's view is that the ban on waterboarding would force the CIA to shut down its program of enhanced interrogation of terror suspects, something President Bush regards as an important tool in the war on terror.
Although President Bush has stated that the United States has not and will not torture people, it has been learned that Mr. Bush himself has authorized the use of waterboarding on detainees (a practice previously prosecuted by the United States as a war crime), and has claimed the authority to do so again in certain circumstances.

It is painfully obvious that the President and John McCain have completely lost touch with reality and need to be turned out and away from office.  Let them go to pasture anywhere but in politics or Washington as they are both doing far more harm than good at this point.  I say that with a heavy heart as a former John McCain supporter before he went senile or drank the funny cool aid the White House was passing out.  Let them go retire some where where they can do no harm maybe sending out Kentucky Derby party invitations for photo ops, maybe they need to go to a retirement home. 

In the President's case, maybe he needs to be tried by a World Court for War Crimes against humanity.  He authorized torture and the United States has executed past war criminals for that.  Osama Bin Laden succeeded in killing several thousand people, destroying buildings and plains and giving the world a good scare.  President Bush has almost succeeded in dismantling the Constitution and sending US Americans in to bankruptcy, corporate servitude and a false sense of fear at the hands of puppet master bureaucrats in Washington.
