Bush continues his pro-torture policies

Apparently human rights mean nothing to Republicans. They just like to see people in pain.

Bush to veto ban on waterboarding / Harsh tactics help fight terrorism, he says

President Bush is to veto legislation Saturday meant to ban the CIA from using waterboarding and other harsh interrogation tactics and will argue that the agency needs to use tougher methods than the U.S. military to wrest information from terrorism suspects, administration officials said.

..
Retired Army Lt. Gen. Harry Soyster, a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, suggested that those who support harsh methods simply lack experience and do not know what they are talking about.
"If they think these methods work, they're woefully misinformed," Soyster said at a news briefing called in anticipation of the veto. "Torture is counterproductive on all fronts. It produces bad intelligence. It ruins the subject, makes them useless for further interrogation. And it damages our credibility around the world."​

I agree with the Lt . Gen. common sense tells you anyone facing death will say anything to prevent it. Truth or not.

Again you misrepresent the facts. John McCain voted against this bill as well and not because he supports water-boarding... This bill would limit many forms of interrogation currently in use that are not considered torture..

Again, you misrepresent the facts to suit your bush hating needs...

Hmmmm anyone else think maybe this retired General is one of the reasons we have bad intelligence,

DIA and CIA were actually accurate on Iraq's WMD situation prior to the second war, but the Bush Administration didn't want to hear it, and neither do you bozos.

Referring to the first interrogation report on al Qaeda senior military trainer Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, the DIA took note that the Libyan terrorist could not name any Iraqis involved, any chemical or biological material used or where the training occurred. As a result, "it is more likely this individual is intentionally misleading the debriefers," a DIA report concluded.

Last week's report said the Defense Intelligence Agency circulated more than 100 reports from Curveball, with detailed information about mobile biological weapons labs in Iraq.
Curveball was working with German intelligence, and U.S. intelligence had limited access to him. The report said Curveball met once with a defense official and seemed to have a hangover.
The report said CIA officials contended that they tried to raise warnings about Curveball. One unnamed CIA division chief claims to have called Tenet at midnight the night before former Secretary of State Colin Powell gave his address to the United Nations, which provided the Bush administration's case for invading Iraq. The division chief recalled telling Tenet that foreign intelligence officials were concerned about Curveball's credibility.
