to hold Sen John McCain's feet to the fire to see if he will back up his past claims that the U.S. should not torture? Or his claims that torture is ineffective?

One Citizen's Opinion

Lee Dunkelberg

President Boy George Bush has promised to veto the waterboarding ban.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will veto legislation on Saturday banning U.S. intelligence agents from using waterboarding and other controversial interrogation methods, White
House spokesman Tony Fratto said on Friday. (original story)

The only thing that will allow this country to stand tall with honor in this arena now is if Congress overrides his veto. 

Would it be torture for Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama
to engage a game of who can hold McCain most accountable? Maybe Sen.'s
Obama and Clinton can argue over how many times McCain has flip flopped
on this issue.

The two candidates could flip a coin to decide who gets to argue
that if McCain votes McCain/Bush again he puts our own soldiers at risk
of torture. According to who? That's according to Sen. John McCain,
before the McCain/Bush ticket.

The loser of the coin toss gets to ask if torture is so effective,
where is Usama bin Laden? Why have not we captured bin Laden? What
about the promise of justice for all the victims of September 11, 2001?
Why have they been forgotten?

Either one or both could take the argument that Sen. McCain once
again is a Bushbot, supporting President Boy George Bush in his failed
three-trillion-dollar war in Iraq. Once again, it is McCain/Bush
allying us with the cesspool governments of the world who condone
torture. It is a McCain/Bush legacy that has scarred this nation, and
left our nation with such a sorry reputation overseas that they only
thing holding it up at all the world knowing Bush soon will leave
office. However, will McCain/Bush move in with the same zeal for war?

It's up to Sen.'s Clinton and Obama to do all they can at all costs
(even to their own ambitions and egos) to keep faith with the American
people and our allies.
