Those Interrogation Memos Show Bush Cared

If the Bush Administration didn't care about the legality of those so-called harsh interrogation techniques, we wouldn't have those memos giving legal opinion about their application and limitations. Instead, the "Administration" would have just gone ahead and done the interrogations. But, the fact that memos were being floated between the CIA, the Administration, and the Justice Department shows that there was an intent to stay within the legal boundaries of what is defined or not defined as torture.

This fact seems to be lost in this whole uproar about "torture" and "harsh interrogation" techniques. The moronic press and the rabid, frothing lefties of this country seem to simply think that these memos show that Bush and his gang conducted torture. But, instead it shows careful consideration as to the legality and to what limits had to be exercised in using these techniques. This fact, alone, shows that there was no wanton or willful attempt to conduct illegal torture. That, in turn, makes this whole "prosecution" of the legal opinion a left-wing witch hunt; and an attempt to conduct a show trial that could be akin to a kangaroo court in some banana republic.

To those on the left...please grow up!

This whole thing shows that politics is being put before the safety of our nation. That, to me, is much more concerning than the minimally hurtful techniques that were used against a handful of terrorists who fully intended to kill as many Americans as possible. And, that's sad. Very sad.
