Poll question: If The McCaine Torture Provision Passes Will Bushco Comply?

Or do you think they will ignore any legal restrictions on the issue forcing a further showdown at some late date?

order to commit those crimes will have the leverage to say no. Well- they already have that. They'll have a real *incentive* to say "no".

almost exactly as written. Bush will not veto this. He knows it is a loser of a position. That is why they are dealing now.

5. I Suspect If They Are Still Saying That, They Are Just Trying To
strengthen their bargaining position. Of course these are international war criminals we are talking about. You should never put any new low past them.

6. If they behave like true fascists they won't comply. They will
become more secretive than ever about it. However, passing the provision ensures that if they are caught, they will be made accountable.

9. Is That The New, New, New, New Date For The Release?
I have not heard anything on it in a while and there has been some problems in the past couple of days with the ACLU website. Good to know there is still a theoretical date for release. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Rummy would eat the material before releasing it. But, we shall see. I doubt they can keep the delays up forever.

12. The Black House is
shaking in their boots about that. It's not the White House anymore. Actually it's the Shit House. But, I bet they go all the way to the supreme court to keep a lid on that video.

8. They will just lie some more, that's all.
There is no truth in these lying scumbags whatsoever.

They lie because...well, because they can.

14. Exactly....
If they are not now and have not been complying with the U.S. constitution, why on Earth would they worry about McCain's toothless little rider?
