"If President Bush and the Justice Department authorized the CIA to torture its prisoners, the public has a right to know," said Jameel Jaffer, an ACLU attorney involved in the case.

Bush already said that we don't torture people, so then the public has no need to know the details of our interrogation methods, which Leahy obviously wants to use entirely as a political weapon against Republicans. In response to this request, Bush can say that we don't use torture and then classify these documents and prevent their release and their misuse in a purely political witch hunt.

This is where I have gotten really pissed with the so called "Conservatives" in Congress. The other day I read where a Congressman Kingston from Georgia said he was tired of "carrying George Bush's water." I want to know where the hell he has been as these outrageous charges have been hurled. The "true conservatives" in Congress walked away from this battle every time the lines were drawn. Screw them. May Kingston and his yellow bellied, backstabbing ilk be relegated to the back row from now until the end of time.
