Cowardly Democrats SIGN OFF on Bush's insane LUST for TORTURE....

Is it necessary to add an article, link, or the names of the Cowardly Democrats who SIGNED ON to the insane, cowardly, BUSH_TORTURE bill?

What's the matter, Mr. President... would we, the United States of America, have WON the VIETNAM WAR, if you had bothered to get out of your Texas/Alabama gravy ANG assignments (which you didn't even bother to fulfill) and ACTUALLY GONE to SERVE in Vietnam?

HOW DARE your Republican supporters shout out "Bill Clinton was a DRAFT DODGER!" in 1992 (and ever since), while neither YOU nor ANY of your three brothers saw duty in the Vietnam war... A WAR YOU *CLAIMED* TO SUPPORT.

As so many have pointed out, we Americans WON World War II, WWI, the Civil War, and the American Revolution WITHOUT RESORTING TO TORTURE.

The Southern economic system, on the other hand, of plantation agriculture and CHATTEL SLAVERY, DEPENDEND ON PROXY WARS (the slave raids to round up human chattel, often estimated as killing TWO persons for every slave delivered to buyers, a 66.6% mortality rate) and TERRORIZATION and the TORTURE of those slaves, so to intimidate them to prevent them from running away or 'inciting insurrection."

You, Mr. President, with your insane lust for TORTURE and INDISCRIMINATE ARREST POWERS, are a throwback to the SLAVERY ERA in American history. While Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other US presidents either owned slaves or were part of expanding the America's (de facto) slave empire, they did not have the luxury of hiding behind America's multi-billion dollar defense and national security complexes as you do.

And they certainly did not run KANGAROO COURTS to CONVICT low-level, volunteer, female privates FOR FOLLOWING their torture orders.... *YOUR* TORTURE ORDERS... as you have done.
