I have accurately stated since this story broke that what the libs mean is that Bush and Rumsfeld authorized this type of treatment.

The administration most certainly did not approve and authorize this conduct. It was done by rogues and it was wrong and the administration correctly says so.

One does not defend the indefensible. Ever.

They are not saying this was approved behavior, per the dems' demands--which is what the libs mean here.

Beside the point. Your cogent statements have NOTHING to do with the politics of the situation. There's blood in the water, thanks to Bush administration apologies, and there's no bunch on the planet better at exploiting such blood than American liberals.
