All About McCain

tracilicious · 09-05-2008, 08:45 PM

I've been thinking about McCain and the whole torture thing. He brings it up at every possible opportunity, but I think it's possible that it makes him significantly less qualified to be pres. He was there for what...four years? That is bound to damage the psyche in a profound and irreparable way. He has my respect for enduring it, but no way do I want that kind of experience anywhere near the red button.

Not to pick nits but what he brings up is his time as a POW, but he is very careful never to use the word "torture" because what happened to him, if we use the Bush definition, is "advanced interrogation techniques" that are approved by the White House for GITMO detainees.
