19. It's a lie in more ways than one. Bush's administration admitted to waterboarding
three detainees and so the RW wants to conclude that torture was limited to those three. Almost certainly, that's not true. Two dozen detainees died at Abu Ghraib alone...strikes to the chest, suffocating inside a sack while being sat on, a bunch of 'heart attacks' etc. Just at Abu Ghraib...not Guantanamo (from where the CO was transfered to Abu Ghraib because he was too harsh), rendition sites in other countries, or our own secret prisons.

They love to narrow and reduce issue to one single element that can be muddied up (waterboarding is torture?). But the truth is that the extent of the program is not discussed in public and is likely much more extensive.

More lies from Fox, the msm pundits, and rw officials.
