House Votes to Outlaw CIA Waterboarding
Submitted by Melinda Secor on Thu, 2007-12-13 17:00
"Defying a White House veto threat, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on Thursday to outlaw harsh interrogation methods, such as simulated drowning, that the CIA has used against suspected terrorists." Yep, that'll surely fix them, passing another law to tell them that torture is illegal. Since all who have broken the law have been impeached and tried for their crimes, I'm sure this second law will have the remaining officials quaking in their shoes...what a bunch of morons....I'll leave the reader to scratch his or her head wondering whether I mean the politicians or those that continue to vote for them.
