It is time to say NO to everything

Here is how Bush signing his interpretation of the torture ban is put into practice...with cavalier, malicious...and patently illegal interpretations of the law.

Bush administration lawyers, fighting a claim of torture by a Guantanamo Bay detainee, yesterday argued that the new law that bans cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment of detainees in U.S. custody does not apply to people held at the military prison.

In federal court yesterday and in legal filings, Justice Department lawyers contended that a detainee at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, cannot use legislation drafted by Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to challenge treatment that the detainee's lawyers described as "systematic torture."


So, Senator McCain just how big a kiss ass are you going to be?
