Get this: President Bush — who says he wants to improve the U.S. image around the world — is threatening to veto legislation that would ban torture of prisoners of war.

RE: Veto torture ban? Wha

From Article-
The White House objects to the anti-torture legislation on the basis that it "would limit the president's authority and flexibility." Tough.

Last summer when McCain and others tried to pass a similar measure, Vice President Dick Cheney went to Capitol Hill and undertook a major lobbying campaign to stop the McCain move.

If the United States is going to salvage any remnants of its once respected moral reputation, it would behoove Bush to withdraw his veto threat, sign the bill and help America regain its honor.

Bush is really mentally ill, sick and has no human compassion whatsoever. After Katrina he showed he did not even care about his own people. Bush is a war criminal, miscreant, loose cannon, power hungry madman with too much power. Cheney is as big of a miscreant.

"W" just continues to isolate America. He is showing his true colours, that he is no better than the taliban. But yet he murdered more people in Texas than any other Governor, so I should not be surprised at his behaviour.
