Somebody criticized policy which could reflect badly on Bush?
Quick! Attack the messenger!!


Hell. I almost want to attack Carter because he's slow on this one.
The fact that we've been torturing is OLD NEWS.

GENEVA (AFX) - Washington has, for the first time, acknowledged to the United Nations that prisoners have been tortured at US detention centres in Guantanamo Bay, as well as Afghanistan and Iraq, a UN source said.

The acknowledgement was made in a report submitted to the UN Committee against Torture, said a member of the ten-person panel, speaking on on condition of anonymity.

'They are no longer trying to duck this and have respected their obligation to inform the UN,' the Committee member said.

'They they will have to explain themselves (to the Committee). Nothing should be kept in the dark,' he said.

UN sources said this is the first time the world body has received such a frank statement on torture from US authorities.

Is there any real surprise?
Our government considered a vote on banning torture, AND REJECTED it.
