Former President George W. Bush admitted in his memoir that he ordered the CIA to torture. The former U.S.president now aims to increase his revenues from his memoir book that includes his admission of guilt of a major human rights violation and international law, reason for voters on all party sides to be angry.
"Bush has admitted in his memoir that he personally gave the order for CIA officers to use water-boarding on a 9/11 suspect," according to the Australian Herald in the article, Younger Bush approved waterboarding as interrogation method.
"The former president told the Washington Post he would make the same decision again if it meant saving American lives."
It has been documented by Brave New Foundation that torture makes American less safe.
GW Bush has not been accountable for any of his war crimes.
President Obama has not reversed the U.S. practice of torture, despite his campaign promises.
The American public has not insisted on accountability of torture officials, leaving the gate wide open to torture overseas and on U.S. soil, as Targeted Individuals and other prisoners reportedly experience and as is typical in rogue, fascist states.
In Monarch no-touch torture of US targets press conference slated, the writer highlighted Tom Hayden's revelation that "General David Petraeus, Commander, U.S. Central Command advocated a "global Phoenix Program," alluding to the notorious Vietnam-era CIA data-base operation used to torture and assassinate innocent civilians due to their political beliefs. (Tom Hayden, Reviving Vietnam War Tactics, The Nation, 2008)
Global includes the U.S.

The current president will order a Predator strike on suspected terrorists without batting an eyelash, sending a missile warhead to crash through a roof, white hot metal shrapnel ripping through flesh and bone while the shockwave from the blast ruptures lungs and eardrums, and heat chars the skin.
He does this in firm belief that it is necessary for the safety and security of American citizens.
But the previous president ordered 3 of the most horrible men in the world "waterboarded" for the same reason, and that's inhumane.
But give them both a little credit: If we are ever successful in stemming Islamic Extremism, we will have ended 70% of the torture in the world.
By contrast, if we prosecute every American CIA official, we will have ended less than 1%. On the balance, then, if we have to tolerate one and not the other the choice is clear.
So people like you do still exist! Those who think they're inteligent and know about the world...and get their information from the Great American media. The same media that is still telling you that 19 Arabs who couldnt fly planes..flew planes into some of the most highly guarded buildings....that weren't guarded, because they hate freedom and our way of life even though there are millions of muslims in the west who are living that way of life and countless millions who would like to. All of this is being orchestrated by a man from a cave somewhere in Afghanistan even though he died in December 2001 but somehow from his grave he can order a rag tag bunch of common criminals trained by American company's like XE Blackwater to go around trying to destabilise governments by planting bombs in Mosques to try and get one set of muslims to fight against the other. Any one wanting to know who really attacked America on 9/11 should Google the words "Israel did 9/11" and "Dancing Israelies", "We were here to document the event" "USS Liberty" etc etc etc. In other news America continues to be destroyed by Wall Street and the American Government due to their plan for a one world dictatorship and a New World Order where a few Satan worshiping Families will be dictaters and the rest of humanity will serve. Anyone who protests will be warterboarded, much to the delight of Swarmi. Americans will look back and ask "I wander what happened to those islamic terrorists they kept telling us about?". If you have any doubts about what i say, you have a computer in front of you. Research it. World, I wish you peace.
Watch for IndictBush for War Crimes signs where he tried to release his book. War criminals - including those in office now - need to be tried. The provisions exist to do it - if only Americans will insist.
Good for Bush, I support his decision. War is hell, and the object is to win at all costs. I want our side to win! Some people think thats barbaric, and yes it is but it is but one of the prices of waging war.
Mr Smartypants and Swami are a**holes. Excuse me expressing the obvious.
'Our way of life'. That is a laugh. WE are quickly becoming the most oppressed nation in the world here in America and it is getting worse and worse everyday. The only Americans that they are protecting are the criminals that have taken over our governemnt. Americans have baked tyrants, torturers, and Islamic dictators for years like i.e. the Shah of Iran, Noriega, the family running Kuwait, Saddam Hussein (til he stepped out of line) and countless others.

STOP TORTURE NOW! PLEASE HELP THE VICTIMS!
