From the essay:
That is, while Democrats politicize “torture,” “domestic spying,” the Patriot Act, and now the CIA’s efforts to defeat al-Qaeda, Republicans are generally supporting Obama’s Pakistan policy for the greater good of protecting our national security.
Eventually, people do figure out who the grown-ups are.

Did Bush Torture? YES, says John McCain, someone who has been tortured. YES says the International Red Cross. YES, says the US Gen. Taguba who investigated Abu Gharib. YES, according to the Geneva Conventions. There is NO question Bush tortured and told the world that the US doesn't torture.
The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. - GW Bush, June 26, 2003
How do you square this statement from your Christian president?
By the time of Bush's statement, prisoners where tortured, waterboarded over 100 times and some tortured to death - as many as 100.
Journalist and Human Rights Watch researcher John Sifton documented that "approximately 100 detainees, including CIA-held detainees, have died during U.S. interrogations, and some are known to have been tortured to death."
And you have the balls to call this "protecting our national security" when top interrogators have repeatedly said torture didn't work?.
Oh, but you'll believe anything Dick Cheney says... "it saved hundreds of thousands of lives."
lol!!
You quote Jesus on your blog then defend torture. Now that sounds like a REAL republican - true to form. Torture is ok for people like you, as long as its only Muslims being tortured.
No, I support telling moralistic, appeasing, Liberal busy-bodies to put a sock in it.
