I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture... - Official proclamation by President Bush, June 26, 2003.
****
Last week, they released these memos outlining torture techniques. That was
clearly a political decision and ignored the advice of their Director of
National Intelligence and their CIA director... - House Minority Leader John
Boehner, at a press conference in the Capitol.
Notice how Boehner used the word torture instead of "enhanced interrogation."
In 1966, during a televised propaganda interview with a pro-Commie journalist
arranged by his captors, Denton was pressured to condemn American wartime
"atrocities." Instead, Denton stood by his country: "(W)hatever the position of
my government is, I believe in it, I support it, and I will support it as long
as I live." Denton pretended the camera lighting bothered his eyes. With his
clueless jailers surrounding him, Denton looked into the lens, blinked his eyes
in Morse Code, and covertly broadcast the truth to the world -- Jane Fonda be
damned -- by spelling out "T-O-R-T-U-R-E." -- Radical right-wing columnist Michelle Malkin, in a 2004 column.
