Bush tries the whining defence, it fails-
Downing Street today dismissed George Bush’s claim that waterboarding is not torture after the former president used his memoirs to play down the brutality of the interrogation technique and claimed that it saved British lives.
The former chair of the Commons intelligence and security committee, Kim Howells, cast doubt on Bush’s claim that it had helped save British lives. “We are not convinced,” said the Labour MP.
Of course when it comes to our own use of torture will the govt. be quite so ready to call a spade a spade? Even so, watching this dry drunk fundie war criminal claim he was doing if for our own good needs to be firmly set in the correct context, the context of -she was asking for it, this hurts me more than it hurts you, but they loved their dear ol’ mum, god told me to do it, etc etc etc.
