None of the RATS including Durbin can convince me if they thought waterboarding was illegal and objected to it at the time they couldn’t have done something about it to stop it. They went along because it was getting results and saving lives.
“They went along because it was getting results and saving lives.”
My arse, could it have had anything to do with GWB’s and his administration’s sky high approval ratings? They had polls (including Rummy, Cheney, Rice) in the 70% to 80% range in 2002? That female rat and her gang knew the only way to take the administration down, thus the Republicans, was to lay low, create innudeno and lie.
