Bush Whacked

Religious zealots help me out here. Assorted versions of the bible say that we should "do to others what you would have them do to you." President Bush just vetoed the bill banning the CIA's use of torture. Senator McCain - did you hear that? President Bush endorses you, but he wouldn't be against torturing you if he thought (dramatic pause) it would make America safer for his well to do friends. A "thank you Mr. President but no thank you" might be in order here.

Here's a thought. Everyone who thinks torture is actually ok let themselves be subject to some of it - a little waterboarding, maybe some electrocution, maybe even a bit of sensory deprivation. Afterwards, if you still think it's ok, then you get to torture someone else. Sound like a plan?
