Republican followers will believe every lie that this administration brings forward. I am absolutely sure of this. They will never abandon this party despite the overwhelming lies. Cheney says one thing Bush says another, and then they both say the public didn't hear what is on record as being said. It is totally ridiculous...

Now for my 2 cents, torture is wrong. It was wrong during the inquisition and it is wrong now. Even when you put aside the notion that people who have nothing to do with terrorism could be wrongly arrested and tortured for information they dont have. It is barbaric and the people being tortured are just going to lie sending soldiers on a wild-goose-chase for things that dont exist.

Al-jizeera reports all of these tortures and they are broadcast through-out the world. This is why terrorism and anti-westernism will continue. It is not just Americans who see this torture going on. All through the arab states people who would once have been moderate or pro-western grow frustrated with the US and its allies. We are playing right into the enemies hands.
