3. Bush is right...the US 'does not torture'....
The crafty little bastard is right, "The US does not torture".

Junior can say that because Alberto Gonzales, when he was White House Counsel, crafted this
new legal definition of torture which included the following statement--"only organ failure, impairment of bodily function, or even death" constitute torture punishable by law.

Please don't forget this America.

They re-defined the legal definition of torture.

Bush knows exactly what he is doing. He says we don't "torture", because he's defined torture as
anything short of organs failing or a person dying.

This is so perverse and so disgusting...
