I think Bush is dead wrong and we shouldn't be torturing anyone....period. But we may not agree on what constitutes torture.
Quote:
We believe that the language that would redefine Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions as equivalent to the standards contained in the Detainee Treatment Act violates the core principles of the Geneva Conventions and poses a grave threat to American service-members, now and in future wars.

I feel that statement should be amended to say, ........and in future wars against regular uniformed armies representing real countries.
I don't believe these Islamic Militants give a tinkers damn about the Geneva Convention, rules of war or basic humanity.
That doesn't mean I endorse torturing them, only that we should expect it from them.
