Republicans, Official - Pro Torture

[ShangriLaTroubl]

October 5th, by an overwhelming vote of 90-9, the Senate passed strict provisions as part of the Defense Appropriations Bill that would take the current military regulations against torture and turn them into law. Nine Republican Senators voted against the anti-torture provisions, and President Bush has threatened to veto the Defense Appropriation Bill unless the provisions are dropped.

Of course, Bush is aware how this would look to the public so he is trying to bury this law in the house and have them secretly take it out.


IT IS interesting that the only 9 senators who voted against it, were Republicans--and a Republican President is against anti torture law...WOW

WHY AM I SURPRISED??
