If you can tell me one good thing bush has done in the last five years, I’ll give you a cookie. He is a complete fuckwit.
Yesterday evening, John McCain passed an amendment to the next military appropriations bill which if followed would end such practices by simply requiring the treatment of detainees to be held to the standards in the Army field manual. Bush claims he’s going to veto it. This would mean the first, and so far only, veto of Bush’s entire presidency would be performed in support of torture.
The debate over the U.S. policy on interrogation is made extremely difficult by the aforementioned fact that nobody seems to know what the U.S. policy is.
Bush is, in fact, the first president since James A. Garfield not to veto anything, and Garfield spent over three years of his one term in office dead.
