If You Waterboard Me Then It Is Torture

That's what the nation's chief spook said:

The nation's intelligence chief says that waterboarding "would be torture" if used against him, or if someone under interrogation was taking water into his lungs.

But Mike McConnell declined for legal reasons to say whether the technique categorically should be considered torture.

So we now are a nation of selective law - laws that only apply to certain people, but get ignored for others. Bullshit. It's time for congress to really focus on this issue and take whatever steps are necessary. I don't care if an impeachment vote is held on January 19th, 2009, we need it on record that this nation as a whole condemns the actions of this President and his administration.
