I thought that I heard McCain make an odd statement about Bush using info obtained through torture in his speech about WMD. What could that be all about?

I believe he was referring to the 16 words in the State of the Union speech when the President said Iraq was attempting to obtain uranium from Africa and he said that that information was obtained through torture so we all see that that doesn't work. The Administration should never have backed off the inclusion of that statement, but I have never heard it alleged that the information was a result of torture. I think McCain went out on a limb there and sawed it off.

Russert didn't jump on it. Betcha that statement goes away without a response from the other side.

McLame is a fool on his new LAW against torture. See The truth about torture for a different perspective than McLame's.
