How to Pry the Truth out of Congressmen
Jim Bovard - since the Busheviks seem to think that torture, er... coercion, is a good idea, let them take some of their own medicine, says Mr. Bovard. Good idea. How about a naked tower with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Condi on the bottom row? [root]
IN RESPONSE to the Supreme Court's June decision in Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld, the Bush administration has proposed a new Enemy Combatant Military Commissions Act. If passed by Congress, this act would revolutionize American jurisprudence.
The White House wants military tribunals hearing the cases of terrorism suspects to be able to use "coerced" confessions. As Acting Asst. Atty. Gen. Steven Bradbury helpfully assured Congress last month, "there are gradations of coercion much lower than torture."
